[SOLVED] Can't purge old version of Wine

[KrisRuud]

As Wine releases new dev branch releases, I regularly get the update notifications in the Update Manager. I had in the past installed a dev branch and thought I had purged it, but I must be missing something. What else do I need to do to get rid of the dev branch?

Now purge the packages with ii (= installed), like

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get purge winehq-stable

If you remove that one first, it should automagically remove some of the others that it depends on.

Thank you. Looks like that worked!
