[SOLVED(?)]: erased everything and started all over again!
I get this wierd result when I try to install wine in an otherwise functional Ubuntu...
Scroll down to the 'The following packages will be REMOVED' section.
I NEED all of those packages! I can't install wine because if they get removed my system becomes naff.
I'm on Ubuntu Mate (official).
Code:
$ sudo apt-get install wine
