Wine package broken after Ubuntu upgrade to 13.04

Asked by Clifford Reynolds

Wine 1.4 was installed on Ubuntu 12.04LTS on 32 bit (though didn't work for Quicken 2012). Upgraded Ubuntu -> 12.10 -> 13.04. Tried to run wine, didn't work. trying to uninstall or reinstall didn't work - "broken packages" . Have noticed in posts that when versions of Ubuntu change, this type of error for Wine (and others) occurs. Have tired using Y PPA Manager which states that only Wine packages (1.5 up) are available for my system (Ubuntu 13.04) so it looks as if I can't get the wine 1.4 package to either install or uninstall. "wine1.4-i386" seems to be the hangup.

It was suggested in other posts that I do a fresh install of 13.04. I don't want to do that; besides, what then is the point of the upgrade process?

Also, Canonical Partners and Canonical Partners (Source) are listed twice even after running Scan and remove duplicates in Y PPA Manager.

The clue was in the error. Read the error then read the fix. Not rocket science

Thanks for the insult (not).

Perhaps you would be kind enough to point out where in the error:
"dpkg: error processing wine1.4-i386 (--remove):
 Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should
 reinstall it before attempting a removal."
I should have gotten
"sudo apt-get --reinstall install wine1.4-i386"

I don't do command line all day and thought that Synaptic Package Manager
should be able to reinstall.
