How did you go about installing it?
Did you use Ubuntu's package manager? Or did you download from the Wine website?

That would work if it was installed via apt-get.
However, we're still waiting to hear about how it was installed.

Been a while since I used Ubuntu.
But this should work for you:

Code:

sudo upgrade wine

If not, then do this:

Code:

sudo apt-get purge wine
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install install wine
