I'm fairly new to Ubuntu. I tried to install Wine version above and it locked up and greyed out the install window about 2/3rds through install. No messages, no warning; just stopped. Do I need to clean this up/remove the partial install and try again? If so how should the clean up be done? Is there a history on this somewhere I can study?

what method of installation are you using to install wine?– mchidAug 29, 2015 at 3:46

I just went to the Ubuntu software center, looked up Wine and clicked on the download button.– sodypopAug 29, 2015 at 9:28

When I did that a window opened up called Wine Windows Program Loader.– sodypopAug 29, 2015 at 9:33

can you close the windows?– mchidAug 29, 2015 at 9:36

Now the little software center app is locked up on this window and I can't do anything with it but a force quit. Don't want to force quit until I've found an answer to the problem..– sodypopAug 29, 2015 at 9:36

force it to quit and then run the following commands:
sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install --reinstall wine

OK thanks. Maybe problem is solved. I ran the above steps and the terminal window says Wine was installed unpacked, and set up. But I see no signs of Wine having been installed from my desk top or the dashboard. Maybe I need to reboot??– sodypopAug 29, 2015 at 10:29

Also, I have an icon on the dashboard called Install Release. No other identification. It was not there before I ran the code you sent me.– sodypopAug 29, 2015 at 10:55
