Accidentally Deleted wine in usr/bin folder

whispay · 03-23-2015, 10:53 AM

Hello,

im pretty much a noob in terms of handling linux.
Today i accidentally removed wine in the usr/bin folder.
Now i cannot execute wine anymore.
I tried to reinstall it, hoping that it would appear again in the folder. But it didnt.
Need help!
Im working on a Debian Wheezy 7.8 Server.

Everytime i execute wine.
It says :

"/usr/bin/wine: No such File or Directory"
well because its not there, because i deleted it.
And i dont know how to get it back!

Wine 1.4.1 is installed.

Hi & welcome to LQ.
You can try reinstalling wine. If you're using wine64 then try this command from a terminal (or the equivalent apt-get command, if you prefer)

Code:

sudo aptitude reinstall wine64

assuming you're using a 64bit system.
jdk

@jdkaye

thanks for the fast reply!
I just tried that. But nothing happens :/ it just says that 1 reinstalled.
Then "Setting up wine(1.4.1-4)

i looked into the usr/bin folder but its still not back.
same goes when i try to execute wine.
Any other idea on how i can get back the exec from wine?

@Habitual

Yes i tried that too! But i have the same output!
At the moment im trying to reinstall it by downloading the source and
./configure
make
sudo make install
hopefully that works!
In case it doesnt.. any other ideas?

I would run the following:

Code:

apt-get remove wine
apt-get install wine

Substituting wine64 if that's the one you want.

It was originally installed with this method?

Code:

./configure
make
make install

/usr/bin/wine is from the wine64 package. That's probably not what you want (unless you really want to run 64-bit Windows programs). If you do want to use 64-bit wine:

Code:

apt-get install --reinstall wine64-bin
