Unable to uninstall wine in Ubuntu 18.04












0














I am using Ubuntu 18.04 and recently I have installed wine and it was not able to find the .dll files so I ran the command sudo apt-get remove winehq it showed that the wine has been uninstalled but when I type which wine I am getting the output /usr/bin/wine it seems it hasn't been uninstalled completely and when I try sudo apt-get purge wine* I am getting the following errors



E: Unable to locate package winehq.key
E: Couldn't find any package by glob 'winehq.key'
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'winehq.key'


Output of apt list --installed | grep wine:



WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in scripts. 
wine-devel/bionic,now 4.0~rc3~bionic amd64 [installed,automatic]
wine-devel-amd64/bionic,now 4.0~rc3~bionic amd64 [installed,automatic]
wine-devel-i386/bionic,now 4.0~rc3~bionic i386 [installed,automatic]
winehq-devel/bionic,now 4.0~rc3~bionic amd64 [installed] winetricks/bionic,bionic,now 0.0+20180217-1 all [installed]

You seem to have installed wine's development version (a.k.a. beta) which can be unstable sometimes. To remove wine, run:



sudo apt autoremove wine-devel wine-devel-amd64 wine-devel-i386 winehq-devel winetricks


I'll recommend you to install wine-stable to have a wine with minimal bugs. To install it run:



sudo apt install wine-stable
