Hi all.

My installation of Wine stopped working at around the same time KXStudio changed repositories. Dunno if that's related.

But since then I've been going round in circles trying to get a working install on Linux Mint 19. I'm trying to completely uninstall the current Wine so I can install the latest from WineHQ, but every attempt to uninstall results in an earlier version being forced on me (this happens both with synaptic and aptitude via command line).

I think the dependency list is borked somehow, prolly my own fault, but I don't know where to go from here... Any ideas anyone? Thanks.

Are you using the wine stable repo? Find instructions about how to use it here: https://www.tecmint.com/install-wine-in-linux

That might be less trouble than trying to install the wine that comes from the Mint repo.

The following actions will resolve these dependencies:

     Remove the following packages:                    
1)     wine-staging:i386 [5.0~rc5~bionic (bionic, now)]
2)     wine-staging-dev [5.0~rc5~bionic (bionic, now)] 

     Install the following packages:                   
3)     libwine-development [3.6-1 (bionic)]            
4)     wine-development [3.6-1 (bionic)]               
5)     wine64-development [3.6-1 (bionic)]             



Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?] 

I think it's because there are multiple parts that might need to be removed individually, one by one.

Try googling it.

Maybe sudo apt-get remove --autoremove wine-* might work on Debian based systems.

A list of wine packages that are installed can be viewed using apt list --installed | grep wine on Debian based systems.

Something like (I can't remember if the -amd64 is needed at the end of the name on the 64 bit packages ie winehq-staging-amd64, try it and see)

wine-staging-amd64

wine-staging-i386:i386

winehq-staging

wine-staging

Then when it's all uninstalled, follow the WineHQ install routine.

Thanks all. I think I've finally removed all traces of the installation, basically by rejecting all suggestions and manually removing various libs etc that seemed to be stuck in dependency hell.

Now to try the WineHQ install again
