Wine 4.0 successfully installed, but wine --version returns wine-3.7

  • 772

I have just installed the latest version of wine using:

sudo apt-get install --install-recommends winehq-stable

If I run it again, it tells me winehq-stable is already the newest version (4.0~bionic).

But if I run wine --version or any of the variants(wine64, wineserver, etc) they're showing me that version is 3.7. Why would that happen? How do I fix this?

  1. In case you trying to install wine 4.0 on your ubuntu: Add repo key:

    wget -nc https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.key && sudo apt-key add winehq.key

    Add repo:

    sudo apt-add-repository 'deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ bionic main'

    And install:

    sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-stable

    After those steps wine --version will print the correct version.
