I agree! But that was the advice. I tried that also with wine1.7 but 
that also did´nt do anything. Also the ´broken package´ message was´nt 
resolved with synaptic command to remove broken packages.
The only thing I can think of is that in some .conf file some wine1.6 
remnants are seen but how to find out which package(s) is/are broken I 
don know.
