http://askubuntu.com – I'm trying to install Wine on Ubuntu Precise. I'm used to using aptitude for package management, so I tried to use that to install Wine. When I do that, I'm told I have to resolve dependencies that end up leaving me with 21 packages being uninstalled! However, when I try to install with apt-get, it appears to work fine. Screencast (2.3 MB): http://www.stephenwade.me/se/au/12101.ogv What's going on? Will it work right if I install Wine through apt-get? Will it break aptitude? Why is this happening? Thanks! (HowTos)

Aptitude GUI is a graphical version of Aptitude we talked about in our previous post. As Aptitude has already been removed from official repository of Ubuntu, one cant expect to see this GUI based Aptitude by default in Ubuntu Precise Pangolin.

Can't remove wine 1.4 rc5 34 weeks 3 days ago

I installed Wine 1.4 rc5. Later I realised that this wine won't work because there is no sound. I removed it using Synaptic Package Manager and installed Wine 1.2 which is the stable version of Ubuntu 10.04. Even though I install it. It's still showing Wine 1.4 rc-5. How can I remove wine 1.4-rc5 and install Wine 1.2 ?

It is driving me insane.

It happens to me with the official repositories or the ubuntu-wine PPA, with any WINE version.

In terminal, sudo apt-get install wine, or sudo apt-get install wine1.5 or sudo apt-get install 1.4...:
