How do I uninstall a package from terminal?
apt list -a wine
or apt list --all-versions wine
lists all available versions of wine. I do not have wine installed, and the results of apt list -a wine
in my terminal are the same as yours:
Listing... Done
wine/focal,focal 5.0-3ubuntu1 all
Run apt policy package
to check if a package is installed. The results of apt policy wine
confirm that the wine package is not installed:
wine:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: 5.0-3ubuntu1
Partial results of man apt
showing the results for the list
option of apt
:
list
list is somewhat similar to dpkg-query --list in that it can
display a list of packages satisfying certain criteria. It supports
glob(7) patterns for matching package names as well as options to
list installed (--installed), upgradeable (--upgradeable) or all
available (--all-versions) versions.
The results of apt list --installed wine
or apt list -i wine
don't return any packages at all confirming that the wine package is not installed:
Listing... Done
When you run winetricks
or winetricks --version
you can see the package is there, because you did not install winetricks from the default Ubuntu 20.04 repositories. iinm you manually installed winetricks version 20210206-next with the following commands and did not manually remove winetricks from the /usr/local/bin
directory where it is installed:
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Winetricks/winetricks/master/src/winetricks
chmod +x winetricks
sudo mv -v winetricks /usr/local/bin
After manually removing winetricks from /usr/local/bin
with cd /usr/local/bin && sudo rm winetricks
run apt policy winetricks
to check if it is still installed.
