wine users - May 2006 - [Debian Sarge] dependency on libxxf86dga1

Hi!

Using apt I have
deb http://wine.sourceforge.net/apt/ binary/
deb-src http://wine.sourceforge.net/apt/ source/
This used to work. Now dselect comes up with
wine depends on libxxf86dga1
libxxf86dga1 does not appear to be available

How is this? What to do?

Are you running Debian unstable?

I did and used dselect. I get a dependency on libwine which
does not resolve. So I also added libwine to the
preferences. Still no success.

OK, so this way I can update once. An automatic update does
not work this way. Any way to include it regularly in my
dselect sessions?

On the other hand: Why not just include backborts in the
regular process for all packages?

On
Any reason you want it as a service? wine starts it when needed, it dies
when not needed and I have at least once solved a problem by killing a
wineserver that didn't die on it's own.
