I am currently using wine 9.22 and am getting ready to switch to the latest version. If I understand things right I need to remove my current wine before installing the new one, but I do not know how to do that. When I installed 9.22 I was very new to this and couldn't find instructions that made sense to me so I followed the directions here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=243336 which had me take the package from a non-official site (http://files.pablasso.com/opensource...22-1_amd64.deb) So, I can't follow the wineHQ instructions to remove from source since I didn't install from source and I can't (that I know of) remove it using synaptic or apt-get since it didn't come from ubuntu/deb repositories - so how do I go about getting rid of this old version? (My new install will be following these directions: http://www.winehq.org/site/download-deb http://wiki.winehq.org/UbuntuAMD64 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q564OEmseXE&NR=1) Tricia Ubuntu Dapper AMD64
Hi, packaging system are made to make user's life easier ;) so just remove all wine packages first if you wish by doing, for example: COLUMNS=150 dpkg -l '*wine*' | grep ii this will give you list of installed packages then, for all these packages: apt-get remove <package> or aptitude remove <package> or whatever you like to remove a package. (any GUI could also be use like aptitude curses UI, synaptic, ... please refer to theirs respective doc for instructions) Then you could install new wine package from GIT repository or anything. Another way is to upgrade packages, just change some lines in sources.list file then doing update and upgrade. See apt-get/aptitude/... docs. Please note than both own compiled sources packages and binary packaged ones could be installed at the same time (just run tje first from it's own source dir) Regards.
