Hello,
I'm having some issues with Wine that I'd like to get rid of, as I'm unable to install updates, it bugs out, and then it...
Anyway!
I want to uninstall it, but when I type the command:
sudo apt-get remove --purge wine
it responds:
Unable to lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it
I tried to uninstall it in the manager, but it's still there...
So does anyone know how to get rid of Wine, please?

When you enter your command, you must have the package manager open.
And there can't be two programs managing the installed software at the same time, otherwise it may cause problems.
Close the manager before running the command line.
You can also just delete the "user" configuration of wine, it's the folder "~/.wine". Be careful, it also contains the installed software (you delete the virtual Windows by deleting ~/.wine).

I add something I just received after an update:
<code>W: GPG error: http://wine.budgetdedicated.com hardy Release: The following signatures could not be verified because the public key is not available: ....etc/code>
What is that actually?

This means that the repository is not digitally signed by your distribution.
To put it simply, each GNU/Linux distribution authenticates its software sources to prevent malicious software from being installed.
And the Wine repositories are not authenticated. You must add the key that signs them yourself, if you trust them, of course.

Sorry for the delay in responding, but I couldn't do it earlier...
Well, actually, everything that's installed on it isn't working, and I haven't been able to update since I installed it...

Regarding that, there's something I’d like to know, if you can help me?
How do we know when a program is running in non-interactive mode?
Because yesterday, that's what happened with the manager;
Ubuntu told me that I couldn't open the manager because it was already open in non-interactive mode...
It's been quite a while since I last opened Linux, and since I was just starting out, I've forgotten everything; I don't really remember how Linux works...
