[Wine] Re: How do I update the latest wine?

[bcpeterson]

If you installed the package then your package manage will update it automatically as the PPA is updated.

You shouldn't need to do anything with a downloaded .tar file.

Just run a sudo apt-get update and then a sudo apt-get upgrade wine1.3 from terminal. (

This assumes you installed through the PPA (http://www.winehq.org/download/ubuntu) in the first place.

And it isn't unique to wine.
