Wine 0.9.45 is over 5 years old and has not been supported in a long time. The OS version that particular package was built for, Ubuntu 7.04, is also over 5 years old, and AFAIK no one is building current Wine packages for it. You could try building Wine yourself, but IMO, you would be better off upgrading your OS. However, if your only reason for installing Wine is iTunes, don't bother, because it doesn't work even in current Wine.
