two versions of wine installed and i can't remove either
hey all! hit a bit of a roadblock and i thought maybe this was the best place to find an answer
it seems that i have installed Wine1.3 and 1.4. I can no longer add or remove packages nor can the upgrade to 12.10 happen until this is resolved. i used -f to try to solve the problem as well as autoremove. here is the output:

Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.

Does anybody have any ideas how to fix this?

A google serch for the error nets: http://askubuntu.com/questions/10999...near-line-6449
That may point you in the right direction. I vaguely had a simular problem like that before and the solution was something like deleting or resetting an dpkg file. You may try installing synaptic to see if it can figure it out.

thanks for the tip. i tried followed the advice on that page but still had no luck. synaptic still can't resolve the broken packages
Re: two versions of wine installed and i can't remove either
OK, so it seems as if I had removed completely wine, but it still appears on the "open with" and I have tried installing BIN files and it worked. As far as I'm concerned they are no longer supported on Ubuntu according to something I read somewhere.
Thanks in advanced. How do I completely removed it?
Already tried:
Code:
$ wine
The program 'wine' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install wine1.2
Code:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get autoclean
sudo apt-get clean
Autoclean returned:
Code:
Del winetricks 0.0+20120308~ppa1 [147kB]
Del wine 1.2.3-0ubuntu1~ppa2~lucid1 [42.0kB]
Del ttf-symbol-replacement-wine1.3 1.4-0ubuntu1~ppa1~lucid1 [61.0kB]
Del wine1.3-gecko 1.4.0+1 [49.6MB]
Del wine1.3 1.4-0ubuntu1~ppa1~lucid1 [12.1MB]
EDIT: I' ve tried opening a text file with wine's wordpad, it tried to, but did not. (Opening [txtfilename]...) on lower taskbar.
Also tried below commands with no relevant results:
Code:
sudo apt-get install --fix-missing
sudo dpkg --clear-avail
Re: two versions of wine installed and i can't remove either
Just because a program shows up under "Open with" doesn't mean the program is actually installed. I'm pretty sure that is a Nautilus file association setting but I can't find where that is configured at the moment.
I'm not sure what you mean by BIN files having anything to do with wine. From my experience they are either cd images (simular to iso) or a typical a linux program installation package you run at the command line.
Re: two versions of wine installed and i can't remove either
Thanks for the help. =)
I' ll just install it and search Nautilus dissociation later. If any problems arise, you shall here from me.
Re: two versions of wine installed and i can't remove either
Hmm, did you try including the --purge flag with the remove command? That might have positive results.
Also, you might try removing multiple files at once, i.e.
Code:
sudo apt-get --purge wine wine1.4 winetricks
This helped me overcome the circular dependency problems mentioned numerous times on this forum.
