wine users - Feb 2010 - To update Wine?

I have Wine 1.1.38 installed:
> $ wine --version
> wine-1.1.38-74-gb3b81ab

Due to problems with Eve Online under Wine running in Ubuntu 9.10 32 bit on an
AMD 2600+ with 1 GB of DDR and a 1 GB ATI HD 4650 AGP I have tried just about
anything to update 1.1.38 to 1.1.39.

I have tried the following:

The result of "sudo apt-get install wine" is:

The result of "sudo apt-get install wine1.2 is:

If I try to remove Wine using "sudo apt-get autoremove wine" or
"sudo apt-get remove wine" I get:
> Reading package lists... Done
> Building dependency tree       
> Reading state information... Done
> Package wine is not installed, so not removed

I've tried some other things, but I honestly don't know any more.
Does anybody have some more advice?

A lot of Ubuntu users seem to have this problem. I believe the solution has
something to do with having the right repositories enabled. Search the forum;
this has definitely come up before.

> $ wine --version

Is that a custom compiled version? Run sudo make uninstall from your Wine source
code folder if it is, before anything.

Also, the instructions in your forum thread are old. All you need to do is enter
this in a terminal:

Code:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa
sudo apt-get update


And then try installing wine1.2.

A simpler solution would be to officially deprecate Wine-1.0.1
"stable", outdated since more than a year, missing all bug fixes and
many new features that are known to work since months.
