Does Caldera use RPMs? If so, try the following

        rpm -qa | grep -i wine

should list any wine packages. Now, you have already deleted the wine stuff so
you need to update the rpm database to reflect this.

        rpm -e --justdb <name of package>

will just update the rpm database and won't touch anything else on the
sytem. Useful in cases like this (and when red-carpet screws your installed
package list ... grumble mutter ... )

Cheers,
