THis is a fresh AMD64 install of Trisquel. WINE is not installable; it should be.

After reading about an issue related to ia32-libs-multiarch (and ia32-libs) on Replicant[1] I decided to replicate it. And then I found this issue I am posting to now, 11234, about WINE not working either. The end user problem is the same: the dependencies are missing virtual packages. Also worth mentioning is that there might be other issues with the Trisquel package repo[2].
Note that there are several workarounds floating around the net for this, some of which include grabbing the packages from other already working installations (see [1] again for that). Others suggest changing repos or manually installing lower dependencies. I was unable to have any luck on this machine which I am using at this moment and freshly installed four days ago.
Here's my annonomized uname -a output:
Linux $CompyNameGoesHere 3.2.0-59-generic #0trisquel1 SMP Sat Feb 22 05:54:55 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
EDIT: I am new to the Trisquel community. I just noticed that one can download packages and their dependencies manually[3]. But I agree this is just a workaround, not the elegant solution.
EDIT2: Some of these are still virtual packages, so the Trisquel website itself might be downstream from where the problem lives. I think that's all I have for now.
EDIT3: Looks like this issue may have been around for a while. I'm currently in the middle of trying some of the suggestions. [4]
EDIT4: Link [4] and [5] both suggested doing the following. In Trisquel I had to sudo su, first.
echo "foreign-architecture i386" > /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/multiarch
The net change to the file was simply that @MULTIARCH@ changed to i386. apt-get then installed wine without any problems. I'm still testing functionality.

I have also problems installing wine in Trisquel 8.
I get: https://pastebin.com/va9wuDr2
And if I try to install wine1.6, I'm told it depends on another two packages and so forth.
Wine depends on the installation of some i386 packages. Try the following
# dpkg --add-architecture i386
# apt-get update
# apt-get install wine
As per @gnutastyc's comment Trisquel has to have MULTIARCH support configured to install wine.
