[ale] can't install Wine

[Asher Vilensky]

Googling didn't help.  I can see many people with the same problem, but no
solution.  Tried to 'apt-get remove wine' from single user mode.  It behaved
as if it removed it, but it didn't.
So basically I'm stuck in la-la-land:  can't correct, can't remove.
