Are you sure your distro provides newer packages than what you had?

Ask your distro for help with any package/package manager issues.

When i go to the Ubuntu packages and scroll down it says:
To get the most recent Wine 1.5 beta, click this link to install the wine1.5 package.

And when i do it opens the ubuntu software center and shows me the Wine version that i have so i remove and re click the link but get the same one.

What version of Ubuntu do you have? It looks like 1.5 packages are only being built for 12.04. https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-wine/+archive/ppa

You will have to build Wine yourself to get the latest development release.
