Wine will not reinstall

1) Are you trying to install it from the official WINE repository?
2) Can you post the output of the "apt-cache policy wine" command?

1) Yes, I installed WINE from the Automatix repository.
2) command not found

I'm not sure whether Automatix installs WINE from its own repository or just grabs the latest one from the official WINE repository (it's probably the latter), but in any case, I have to recommend against using Automatix. It still has many technical flaws, and as is likely the case here, can make it difficult to give support because it's hard to pinpoint where the breakage is when it's used.

And if you're getting "command not found" with apt-cache, there's something very wrong with your installation. The package "apt" may have been removed for some reason, and it absolutely shouldn't be; if that's the case, try going to http://packages.ubuntu.com, downloading the package "apt" for the version of Ubuntu you're using, and installing it with "sudo dpkg -i package_name.deb".

Before you do any of this, however, make sure you copy and paste the *exact* command I gave you, instead of typing it.

I put the command in again without the exclamation marks and got this responce:

wine:
  Installed: (none)

  Version table:

        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com feisty-backports/universe Packages
     0.9.33-0ubuntu1 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com feisty/universe Packages

Try entering the following commands, one by one:

sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install wine

If it fails, try

sudo /etc/init.d/dns-clean start

And repeat the three commands above.

I did what you said but, I got this response:

WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated!

1) Open your sources.list

ALT + F2, "gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list"

2) Remove all files with http://wine.lowvoice.nl in them

3) Save and close the file

4) Remove existing WINE installation (if any)

"sudo apt-get remove --purge wine"

(remember to back up your WINE data)

5) Add official WINE repositories for Ubuntu 7.04

wget -q http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/387EE263.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -
sudo wget http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/sources.list.d/feisty.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list

6) Install

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install wine

Sorry, step 2 should be "Remove all *lines* with http://wine.lowvoice.nl in them".

I reinstalled wine but it was version 0.9.41 . How do I update to the most recent version 0.9.45? Because I still have no sound.

If you carried out the instructions I posted, you should have 0.9.45. What does "apt-cache policy wine" return?

Installed: 0.9.41-0ubuntu2~feisty1
  Candidate: 0.9.41-0ubuntu2~feisty1
  Version table:
 *** 0.9.41-0ubuntu2~feisty1 0
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com feisty-backports/universe Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     0.9.33-0ubuntu1 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com feisty/universe Packages

This means you haven't carried out the instructions I posted precisely, or something went wrong in the process. Did you get any errors? In System / Administration / Software Sources / Third Party Software, do you see "WineHQ" lines?

No "WineHQ"
I think the problem was in step 5, I was unable to do it.

Just select each line with your mouse (click+drag), open a terminal, middle click and hit enter. Do it separately for each line.

Ok, I uninstalled wine and started over and it worked. But I still have no sound. Also, will the U buntu update manager keep wine up to date?

Thank you for all your help.

You're welcome. I recommend you refrain from using third party installers similar to Automatix in the future and stick to the official Ubuntu repositories as much as possible.
