Remove individual Wine packages Ubuntu 15.04

I use Ubuntu 15.04.

I wanted to install PSpice, but I needed a program that would run .exe; I found out about Wine, and so tried to install it like this:

sudo apt-get install wine

Everything was working fine, I watched it download and install a TON of packages. However, a screen popped up asking for agreement to Eula software terms. There was no way to accept, so I had to end the process by closing the terminal with the "x" button (which locked up dpkg).

I removed the lock file from /var/lib/apt/lists and /var/cache/apt/archives, and killed the process that had locked dpkg (am I phrasing that correctly?).

So now, the ship is running smoothly, but I want to remove all of the packages that are associated with Wine.

I tried:

sudo apt-get --purge remove wine

I got a message saying "wine not installed".

There must be some way to identify all the packages in /var/cache/apt/archives that are directly associated with Wine, and subsequently remove them.

I'm relatively new to this, please be EXTRA thorough in your help.

First, your system runs fine, wine doesn't exist on it any more, so there isn't too many to do. What I understand you actually want an afterparty cleanup after your wine try.

Wine hasn't too many dependent packages and they don't harm too many. In similar cases, if there is a large software system from a lot of packages, there is a common package on which all of them depends. For example, in case of X it is x11-common, removing it with apt-get --purge remove cleans up your whole system from the X entirely. You can find this by calling some dpkg -s on some packages recursively, and see where is this "common denominator".

But in the case of wine it isn't the case, wine depends only on some libs. Your system now works, maybe the recursive removal of ~/.wine would be useful (here are all of your wine settings, even your virtual C:).

apt-get --purge autoremove removes all of your packages which were installed as a dependency (thus, not directly by apt-get install), and whose original package doesn't exist any more.

deporphan is also a useful tool, it finds packages who aren't dependency of anything and seem seamlessly uninstallable.

dpkg -l|grep wine shows every package whose name or short description contains the wine string, maybe some wine-common or similar package does exist yet.
