wine uninstalled after update

**Synoc** · June 17th, 2013

I updated my 12/04 machine and wine completely uninstalled itself, it seems. and trying to re-install tells me the package system is broken. any idea what happened here? I don't knwo what information it you need. it says it was a distribution upgrade. if that helps and it was only a partial upgrade.

Looks like you are trying to install debs from two different Wine PPAs. One is already installed.
Check your /etc/apt/sources.list and remove (or comment out) the older PPA.
Uninstall (or reinstall) the current package.

Best practice during a release upgrade is to uninstall all PPA software and disable all PPAs before running the upgrade. After the upgrade is complete, add new PPAs and install PPA software. It prevents precisely this kind of problem. PPAs are not supported software, and are not included in pre-release upgrade testing.

if I read this right, the one PPA with AMD is the old one? or should I just try commenting out the first one in the list?

I had the same issue too, and it just so happened to be related to wine1.6.
What I did was to go into synaptic and then filter by the "Broken packages" (Custom Filters buttton on bottom right).
There, I see my 2 broken wine1.6 packages and removed them both. It'll also automatically remove any other wine/playonlinux that depends on wine1.6, but that's fine.

After the packages are removed, I did a regular sudo apt-get udpate and then a sudo-apt-get install wine, and everything seems fine.
Hope it helps.

ok I finally got enough free time to fix this, but the wine PPA won't install wine1.6 "no release candidate'" or wine 1.5 for the same reason. only one it installs is 1.4 if I do an apt-get install wine.

Nevermind, it's wine 1.6-rc3 perhaps... we're good. I only needed 1.5 for a game a while back and 1.4 has it standard now anyway.
