I booted up an older drive that I updated to 14.04 from 12.04 and
installed wine from the ppa and from the ubuntu repo. The results are:
<http://paste.ubuntu.com/8363341/>

Installed both wine1.7 (from the ppa) and wine1.6 (from the repo).
However, note that I did this on a 32bit Ubuntu as I do not have time
just now to try the same with 64bit. Hopefully there will be a clue in
the pastebin that will be of some help.
