Unhappy Failed Uninstall


Well I was was uninstalling wine and the power cut off, as you can see what happend I boot up and try to run wine - it dosent work (I thought this good at time)
However
1) when you use the gui it says the package is already installed (Uh oh)

2) when u use bash it stalls (tried both uninstall and forced install)

HELP!!!! PLEASE!!!!

ok so basically you're saying the rpm command hangs? try running the console command with a couple of extra -v's on the command line for more information. you've probably got a stale lockfile on the system.

Sorry RPM hangs but only when installing(trying to overwrite) or uninstalling wine.

Hope this helps
Cheers
