The root of this problem is how software-center handles declining of the
licence. This is not a problem using command line using apt-get. The
package wine is unrelated to this problem, the problem is produced by
installing and uninstalling the ttf- mscorefonts-installer package.

** Package changed: msttcorefonts (Ubuntu) => software-center (Ubuntu)

Title:
  Can't undo accidental declining of ttf-mscorefonts-installer

Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  wine 1.2.2-0ubuntu7, debconf 1.5.40ubuntu1

  1. In Ubuntu Software Center, navigate to Wine and start installing it.
  2. When the Debconf prompt appears for installing the Microsoft Core Fonts, decline it.
  3. When Wine finishes installing, remove it.
  4. When Wine finishes uninstalling, install it again.

  What happens: The second time you install Wine, you don't get the
  chance to choose whether to install the Microsoft fonts. Debconf shows
  a window saying "If you do not agree to the 'TrueType core fonts for
  the Web EULA ' license terms you cannot install this software. The
  installation of this package will be canceled."

  What should happen: You are asked whether you want to install the
  fonts, just as you were the first time.
