apt - How do I remove WINE as a virtual package? - Ask Ubuntu


i wiped image rid of weirdness going on system , reinstalled ubuntu. followed usual wine installation instructions (add wine ppa, update/upgrade, , install), , ran winecfg, , went smoothly. however, refuses run windows .exe file, though show on right-click menu.

i decided uninstall wine , compile myself make sure no odd bugs going on public binary. opened terminal , typed sudo apt purge wine, told virtual packages 'wine' can't removed. how fix this?

edit: here output of apt-cache show wine:
