I am using Ubuntu 9.1 and I wanted to uninstall wine 1.0.1. I tried using add/remove applications and it said it was removed, but wine still shows up in my applications menu. When I try to get wine again it says I need to fix broken packages. I dont know what to do.
There are lots of people with Ubuntu 9.10 reporting the same problem here. Please report this to Ubuntu, because they're apparently doing something wrong. You could probably try sudo apt-get -f install wine or sudo apt-get -f install wine1.2

I figured that out the hard way...
Thank you Sven! you solved my problem. :D

So there's something seriously wrong with the way Ubuntu is doing things.
