Ubuntu
update-manager package

wine

Asked by Michele

I update my system every morning without fail. While I was working on my desktop this afternoon, it appears that some of the wine components were installed.

I try to avoid using any Windows program on the system.

Ubuntu has enough for me in Open Office.

Is t wine part of the features that come with ubuntu in the latest version?

I clicked on it and realized that it was wine and removed any installed piece from my system.

 If it is something that will come through the updates can I disable it by just unchecking that particular update.

Thanks. I

You can uncheck specific updates while updating your system, yes, but that would leave you with installed versions of the software that contain security vulnerabilities or serious stability/usability bugs. Instead, you can uninstall whatever software you don't want, though you should heed any warnings about other software that would be uninstalled along with it.

You can look at your package installation and update history in the file /var/log/dpkg.log. If you want help interpreting its contents, to figure out how wine got installed, you could post the contents of the file at http://paste.ubuntu.com and post a link to it here.

Thanks. I skimmed the log file and I am not sure how wine got installed but it is no longer on the system so I will just let it be. I did install some games and other things for the software center. Maybe wine was part of it. I will take your advice and just let all the software updates load and later check to ensure unwanted software was not installed.
