Accidentally Deleted wine in usr/bin folder


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

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
