I want to install wine1.4 on approximately 20 PCs, but don't know how many packages are required for that. I've checked dependencies with apt-cache showpkg wine1.4 but for some packages it gives an error like:

E: Can't select candidate version from package ttf-symbol-replacement as it has no candidate

Following are the packages listed in dependencies:

1.4.1-0ubuntu7 - debconf  debconf-2.0  libc6 libgettextpo0 binfmt-support procps dpkg dosbox cups-bsd fonts-droid fonts-liberation 

fonts-horai-umefont fonts-unfonts-core gnome-exe-thumbnailer kde-runtime ttf-mscorefonts-installer ttf-wqy-microhei winbind winetricks 

xdg-utils wine1.0 ttf-symbol-replacement ttf-symbol-replacement-wine1.3 ttf-tahoma-replacement wine wine1.2 ttf-symbol-replacement 

ttf-symbol-replacement-wine1.3 ttf-tahoma-replacement wine wine1.0 wine1.2

I've managed to download 21 packages out of that. It's obvious that I am going wrong somewhere, so whats the exact procedure to check all dependencies and download those packages?

Its very hard to decide which packages are required to your machine for installing wine. It is possible that some packages may be already installed on your system by some other applications.

I followed these steps to install wine on different machine.
note: 32bit architecture files won't work on 64bit and vise versa.

all of you systems should be on same OS architecture. i.e. 32bit or 64bit.
if you have different machine with different architectures then follow this procedure respectively

clear you local repository

sudo apt-get autoclean

sudo apt-get update

you have to make standard installation on at least single system.

sudo apt-get install wine

now get those all packages.

mkdir ~/wine_packages

sudo cp /var/cache/apt/archives/*.deb ~/wine_packages

now carry this wine_packages folder on different system place all files in archives

cp wine_packages/* /var/cache/apt/archives/

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install wine

I didn't find a way to fonts, so we may exit with broken installed wine.. but -f will fix any error if present.

sudo apt-get install -f
