    E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
    
    # apt-get install wine-bin:i386
    Reading package lists... Done
    Building dependency tree   
    Reading state information... Done
    Package wine-bin:i386 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
    This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
    is only available from another source
    E: Package 'wine-bin:i386' has no installation candidate
    ">I was kali-linux-1.0.6-amd64!

    Installed to the hard disk

    I do not understand why there is this problem, please help me! Thank you

    The issue is shown to you: "(Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file)".
    You have edited your sources.list from the default. Fix it and your issue will go away.
