I'm not sure again of what you suggest in your replying...

With the command

sudo find -L $NINER_NINER_PATHS -gid 999 -print0 | xargs -0rt chgrp 0

I find """A LOT""" of messages like this; it seems that are all (or
many of them) in the .wine directory.

find: Symbolic link
`./.wine/dosdevices/z:/sys/devices/platform/pcspkr/subsystem/devices/i8042/serio0/subsystem/devices/serio1/input/input4/subsystem/input8/device/device:22/subsystem/devices/LNXSYSTM:00/device:00/PNP0A03:00/PNP0C0F:04/driver/PNP0C0F:03/driver'
is part of a loop in the directory hierarchy; we have already visited
the directory to which it points.

None of them seems of group id 999.
Also I found that the z: dir into the .wine/dosdevices is a symlink to
the root (but I think this is normal)

I'm really stuck because I run/updated nothing in last weeks that can
have ruined something!
