Ciao, Simon,


I 've also had some problems with wine after one of my Hoary updates ;-(

I'm  using wine together with winetools. I am not a programmer, so I don't 
know what has really happened to the wine package after the update, which I 
did with apt-get.

After my experiences I decided to use an older version from autumn 2004 until 
there is an official announcement from the winetools project to risk the 
update.

You get informations for stable wine/winetools-combinations here:

Unfortunately, they do not offer older wine packages at the official debian 
mirrors, but a search at yahoo "wine 20041019 debian" helps to find a mirror.

Then I installed it with

sudo dpkg -i wine<version>.deb

sudo dpkg -i winetools<actual_and_official_version>.deb

Winetools is very comfortable. It helps to install everything that is 
necessary to run mainstream M$-programs. Now, the apps I want to run are 
stable (that means "agreable stable").

Hope, that helps,

Hagen
