Failed installation of Wine and e-Sword.

[Steven Vollom]

My OS is Kubuntu Karmic.  I have an AMD quad core 9600 processor with 4gb of 
SDRAM.  I attempted installation of e-Sword and failed.  

As per instructions, I installed the Wine 1.1.37 version.  When attempting the 
installation of e-Sword, the computer froze at 97% of the installation.  It 
required a re-boot to continue.

After booting, I confirmed that Wine was installed by looking in Kmenu 
Applications, then attempted installing e-Sword again using the e-Sword 
installer.  The application failed with the following error message:  Package: 
e-sword-installer,  Status:  Error:  Cannot install 'wine'.

I attempted to repair any broken package by using the command, "sudo dpkg --
configure -a".  It appeared to work, because I was returned to my command line 
prompt, steven at Yeshua:~$.  I was not successful it repairing any broken 
package though, if that was the appropriate command.

Using the Wine uninstaller, I attempted to remove Wine, thinking that perhaps 
it had installed improperly.  I was unsuccessful.

I used the command:  sudo apt-get remove wine, and got the following:

steven at Yeshua:~$ sudo apt-get remove wine

Package wine is not installed, so not removed
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

This is confusing, because when I open Kmenu, it shows that Wine is an 
installed application.

I do not know what to do now.  I have read everything posted in the forums 
about Wine and e-Sword, without success.

My instinct is that I must purge Wine, even though command line says it is not 
installed, since it still shows on the menu of applications as installed.  
Thank you for any useful instructions.  

If purge is required, please advise appropriate wording for a command line 
purging of unwanted packages and dependencies, and what my next step should 
be.
