another flavor of "can't initialize OpenGL"

[mark.kampe]

On Ubuntu 13.04, SketchUp 8, Wine 1.5.31
HW_OK = 1 (I did not change this)

It worked very nicely under heavy use for two days.
Then while trying to troubleshoot a (totally unreated) skype problem, I re-installed the
skype package and got an ominous list of a dozen packages that were "no longer needed"
... and since then wine SketchUp now fails with the OpenGL error. My ignorant speculation
is that the skype futzing decided it could remove a package that Wine/SketchUp needed,
and that if I just remove and reinstall wine everything will be fine again.

Before I do that I wondered if this might betoken a package dependency issue and
somebody might want a little info from the corpse before I try to reanimate it?

other confessions that might be relevant:

1. I originally did my wine install from the ubuntu default repo (1.4) ...
and this pulled in a lot of other packages. I then installed 1.5.31 on
top of that. Could this have contributed to package dependency
confusion?

2. I have a GeForce 8400 GS, over which driver Canonical and Nvidia
seem to have an uneasy peace ... and I am currently running an
older (3.5.0-26) kernel until I can get the new drivers working
(or just replace the card) but this is the same graphics adapter
and kernel that was working yesterday morning.

Packages are built and maintained by the distros, so if this is a package dependency issue you should contact the package maintainer.
