How did you try to remove crossover? Also, why wine? CrossOver comes with its own version of wine and never uses whatever is provided in the distribution's repositories.
I guess you could try to use the same .deb package, tell USC (Ubuntu Software Center)/gdebi to re-install it so it fixes whatever went wrong, then, uninstall from USC or sudo apt-get remove crossover
When I try to re-install it locks up my Software center. As far as wine goes, I just want to get rid of everything that has to do with windows. Wine won't uninstall until the crossover problem is fixed.
Try:
sudo apt-get -m remove crossover
The "-m" option should allow apt to ignore the missing depedency and execute the uninstall. After Crossover is gone, we can follow through with Wine if it is still resisting uninstallation.
