Frustrated by lack of functionality of installed package wine since I
upgraded to i386 lenny, I purged removed all specific packages of wine
and reinstalled, also my database application. Still hanging while
commanding 'search'. Then I planned a more drastink purging.
I first commanded
apt-get --purge remove wine

Then I explored what will happen from command

apt-get --purge remove wine*

The output screen from this command is shown below. Clearly I did not
continue as it will remove gnome parts, in particular gnome-session,
which is what I use after startx. Any suggestion?
Thanks

For apt-get the regular expression 'wine*' will match any package whose
name contains the string "win". You are mixing up shell globbing
patterns and regular expressions; see "man 7 regex" for the correct
regex syntax. (Moreover, things can get really messy if you have any
files in the current directory whose names start with "wine"; see the
section "Pathname Expansion" in the manpage of bash.)

Try

apt-get -s --purge remove 'wine.*'

and if this shows the right output then you can run the same command
without the "-s" to actually remove and purge these packages.

(Note: I have no idea if puring and reinstalling all those wine packages
will solve your original problem.)

Thanks. I followed the right recipe and the carried out a fresh
install of wine. Everything shows a correct installation, like

dpkg --status wine

The windows application (a database) installs, though it fails to
work. Like before.

I have already abandoned the windows application chemsk50 as chem
drawing package as there is now gchampaint. Hope to find a linux
alternative to the free-form database.

There is no entry in http://appdb.winehq.org/ for chemsk50
Has it ever worked?
