Wine lets you run Windows software on other operation systems. With Wine, you can install and run these applications just like you would in Windows. Wine enables Linux, Mac, FreeBSD, and Solaris users to run Windows applications without a copy of Microsoft Windows. Wine is free software under constant development. Other platforms may benefit as well.
Search for wine in your package cache using the aptitude command. We are doing it on a 64bit debian system.
So now following the instructions showed in that dialog. Run the commands in exact sequence
# dpkg --add-architecture i386 # apt-get update
Now if you search wine, it will show the additional 32bit packages
Now go ahead and install wine:i386 package.
# apt-get install wine:i386
It will download around 105MB, depending on what packages are already installed on your debian system.
After installation run again to confirm that its installed properly
After installation run again to confirm that its installed properly
