Ubuntu 9.04. Wine totally removed and now impossible reinst

Post by VaNaLunD »

Like topic says..
I removed wine doing this steps:
-Synaptic -> remove
-.wine -> removing every root inside the ".wine" root
-removed the .wine menu

now i'm trying to install it but nothing works..

DOING sudo apt-get install wine
it says install complete but the .wine root is still empty ( and i'm unable to use any "wine" command )

INSTALLING from any new/old package ( .deb ) report the same result.

What can i do now ?

~/.wine does not get created until the first time you run something in Wine.

Run winecfg from a terminal and see what happens. If winecfg doesn't work, post the terminal output.

It should be empty. Installing / reinstalling whatever generally
should not touch your ~/.wine
