i have been useing wine for about a week now being new to linux and it was working fine but after the week went by it started bugging out and crashing on things i had done before i didnt add any winetricks or modify any files so being new to linux i googled how to uninstall wine because i was going to reinstall wine and i got alot of go to the synaptic package manager (im using ubuntu by the way) and uninstall it from their so thats what i did i deleted all the wine stuff (compleatly remove) from there then tried to reinstall it and it said fix broken packages before installing i checked and their were none so i went to the wine FAQ and followed all the removal comands in terminal so i went back and tryed to reinstall wine and i got the same thing please remove broken packages before installing and again i checked the synaptic manager and their was no broken packages what do i do
also when i removed wine with the pkg manager before useing terminal commands i still had the wine in the applications dropdown but it only had programs in it no config wine not even an icon just programs in folders if that helps at all

However, there have been a few reports of problems with Ubuntu updates causing problems recently and it might be that this is the cause of your troubles. Your best course of action would be, I feel, to take this over to the Ubuntu forums to see about getting the broken packages problem fixed, then come back here if that doesn't cure your system.

Haven't found a single questions in your post so I'm assuming you want to completely remove programs installed under Wine: http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#head-9893ae50079ca7a959258f0bc9a17aaf2e69b391 Removing Wine package won't delete anything but Wine itself.
