Problem uninstalling wine.

Hey All,

I’m running opensuse 11.2 since a few days. I installed wine to play some game.
Originally I tried with the default version but since it didn’t work I have installed a newer version from winehq website (just the same, an rpm package, supposedly for suse). In the mean time had a lot of stuff installed, like winetricks, or wine-doors, and the necessary wine software like directx or microsoft fonts.

After a couple of days the game is not working anymore so I have tried to remove everything and start from scratch. The problem is I can’t remove wine. If I remove wine the dependency will say, it will remove package ‘wine’ and install ‘wine-snapshot’. If I uninstall wine-snapshot it installs wine. And so on.

I’d just like to remove everything related so i can check and eventually manually delete rest of wine-related stuff to make sure it’s all clean… reinstalling the game didn’t help so I figured that wine is broken somehow.
But this dependency thing is driving me crazy… any ideas?

thanks

This is what I’m talking about:

zypper remove wine

Loading repository data…
Reading installed packages…
Resolving package dependencies…

The following NEW package is going to be installed:
wine-snapshot

The following package is going to be REMOVED:
wine

1 new package to install, 1 to remove.
Overall download size: 12.6 MiB. After the operation, additional 10.3 MiB will be used.
Continue? [y/n/p/?] (y):

wine --version

wine-1.1.28

Not finding Edit button so I keep replying my own thread…

Found the problem. I had a package called wine-mp3 (I don’t remember installing it, maybe some tool did automagically). The dependency was caused by this. After removing it I was able to clear wine for good.
Ah well.
