How to undo 'sudo apt-get build-dep wine1.7'

Post by lue »

Hi

In trying to get an app to run better I updated to the latest version of Wine and then did 'sudo apt-get build-dep wine1.7' without fully understanding what I was doing. I don't think I really needed to do that last step - it installed a lot of stuff. In fact I'm not sure if that last step will have messed things up or not and I'm hesitant to find out, so I am looking to undo it.

So how do I undo 'sudo apt-get build-dep wine1.7'?

Thanks for reading - I hope some kind person can help.

Mint 17.2 Cinnamon 64 bit, kernal 3.16.0-38,
Wine 1.7.44

AFAICT, there's no easy way to do it, but I did find this: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/10/undo-apt ... build.html.

Try it at your own risk.

Thanks for your reply dimesio!

It looks like it could be tricky - I may mess things up so I think I will leave it as it is for now.
