Colin,
Sorry I thought I had responded.
!. When I click on installed and put wine in the search box, it shows 
nothing.
2 When I click on not-installed and put wine in the search box it comes 
with a long list of programs to be removed:
colord, cuneiform, digikam, dolphin...,evince, gnome, etc.
It then says:
wine1.7 broken package (yes I did know!!) and when I click  under edit: 
Broken packages, it says:
E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be 
caused by held packages.
E: Unable to correct dependencies.
However when I start ¨Software Updater¨ (why a new name??) it says no 
updates.
It is still a puzzle for me what has happened to my system.
