Wine installed... but not?

Post by Begall »

Hey,

I've got a Ubuntu 11.10 system I use as my home server. I installed wine on it a little while ago and everything was working great, I was using it to run Air Video Server.

At some point when I was installing new display drivers to enable GPU acceleration in XBMC Air Video Server stopped loading on boot. When I tried to fix it, I found that the system was acting like wine was not installed. So I followed some advice I found and purged the package from my system and redownloaded it, which still made no difference.

I've just tried restarting after wiping it from the system, and this is what I've tried since:

Code: Select all

xbmc@xbmc-H67N-USB3-B3:~$ wine
The program 'wine' can be found in the following packages:
 * wine1.2
 * wine1.3
Try: sudo apt-get install <selected package>
xbmc@xbmc-H67N-USB3-B3:~$ sudo apt-get install wine1.3
[sudo] password for xbmc:

xbmc@xbmc-H67N-USB3-B3:~$ wine
bash: /usr/bin/wine: No such file or directory
xbmc@xbmc-H67N-USB3-B3:~$ 
As you can see, no difference. Any ideas? Thanks.

Packages are created by the distros, not here. Ask on the Ubuntu forum; this looks like a package and/or package manager issue.

This doesn't help solving the issue ;)

This problem already occured recently and there is an open Ubuntu bug :

WORKAROUND: reinstall libc6-i386 by running 'sudo apt-get install --reinstall libc6-i386'.
