looks like a 3rd party packaging bug? uninstaller is still part of 1.1.16.

Could you tell me the path of the Wine uninstaller?  If for some reason in the
newest Ubuntu release of Wine the uninstaller was missing, is there a way I can
add it without having to completely delete Wine and its settings?  Trying
apt-get install wine doesn't work in this situation.

Works fine here. Most likely a Ubuntu bug.

The uninstaller binary is no longer installed, you should run 'wine
uninstaller' instead. The package needs to be fixed accordingly.

I also have this issue.
Looking in the /usr/bin folder there is no uninstaller. All the other wine bin
files are there so I assume this is where the uninstaller should be.
I did a reinstall using the package manager (Synaptic on Ubuntu 8.10) but made
no difference.

There is no longer an uninstaller wrapper provided. Use wine uninstaller
instead.
