I am using Ubuntu 18.04 and recently I have installed wine and it was not able to find the .dll files so I ran the command sudo apt-get remove winehq it showed that the wine has been uninstalled but when I type which wine I am getting the output /usr/bin/wine it seems it hasn't been uninstalled completely and when I try sudo apt-get purge wine* I am getting the following errors
E: Unable to locate package winehq.key
E: Couldn't find any package by glob 'winehq.key'
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'winehq.key'
Output of apt list --installed | grep wine:
WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in scripts.
