--- Comment #1 from Feipe Braga fbobraga@gmail.com --- Just tested: with "Xenial" (Ubuntu 16.04), the same installation that failed on 18.04 works (just copied '~/.wine')
Reinstall works on Xenial too.
On Xenial: $ uname -a Linux Escritorio 4.4.0-131-generic #157-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jul 12 15:51:36 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
