Running Wine on AMD64 Gutsy release

Using terminal from: Applications->Accessories->Terminal menu

You can reinstall a package (without purging the setting):
sudo apt-get --reinstall install packagename

You can reinstall a package (purging the setting):
sudo apt-get --purge --reinstall install packagename

Substitute packagename with wine and you can reinstall wine

Give your user password when requested, you don't see nothing when you type it, then press enter.

Marcobra thanks for the help. I still cannot get wine to work, many of my other programs do not work from KPDF, Acrobat , Khangman, xpdf etc. so I might have played around a bit too much. I will probably reinstall ubuntu.

Re-installing ubuntu fixed the problems.
Wine and all of the programs run well.
