Last few days had wine 20050111-1 but was missing stuff like libwine-alsa. Any attempt to install would remove all the existing modules. Now has everything for the 20050111-1 but has wine and wine-dev for 20050211-1. Attempts to install will quack.

Are you talking about the stuff in the official apt repositories from a debian mirror or the stuff from winehq.org? Because in the packages you can get from winehq.org all the stuff that is put into individual packages for the official debian release is just stuffed into two or three packages. I also didn't realise this in one occasion and was cracking my scull why ~ aptitude wanted to remove all the special libs like libwine-cups,alsa etc. Until I figured out that the wine packages from winehq.org already have all the stuff that is split up into individual packages for convenience from ftp.debian.org (or whatever mirror you get your packages from). Personally I have the wine version from sarge and the latest one built from source so I can compare how programs look for both versions... I still haven't figured out how to have it built to use freetype. Although I've got libfreetype6-dev, the fonts look all edgy...

[Wine]Re: Does README have any connection to reality?
Whoops, that went off way too early. What I intended to say was: I downloaded Wine-20050211-i486-S10.tgz unzipped it, and then went on to read ./usr/doc/Wine-20050211/README, which says: "

If you are in fact running Slack 10, use your package manager to install the *.tgz normally. If you are not running Slack 10, then download the correct binary for your distribution, or download the source tarball and compile Wine, if you would like to do that instead. Hope this helps. Holly
