wine users - May 2008 - need help installing new Wine version on Debian Etch

I want to install a new version of Wine because the one I installed with apt-get
in Debian is quite old and buggy (0.9.25).

So after doing "apt-get uninstall wine", I followed this guide
(http://www.winehq.org/site/download-deb), to install a newer wine version but
encountered a few problems:

1. the guide says 

> Now you can install Wine by clicking this link. Alternatively, you can
install by going to Applications->Add/Remove and searching for Wine.

The link I'm told to click is apt://wine, but doesn't work in Firefox
("Iceweasel doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol
(apt) isn't associated with any program. And I don't have a program
named "Applications" either.

2. So I tried to manually install with apt-get install wine. But then it gives
me this error:

> # apt-get install wine
> Reading package lists... Done
> Building dependency tree... Done
> Suggested packages:

Uninstall all wine related packages in your package manager (at least
libwine is still installed).

Hmm. Scott (Ritchie), if you insist on putting everything into a single 
package, maybe you should add a Conflicts: libwine? It would prevent 
problems such as this...

And to the original poster... you could apt-get remove libwine first if 
you really want to install those packages. But it seems that they're not 
up-to-date, so if you want 1.0-rc2 for etch, you could try 
http://people.debian.org/~ovek/wine/README instead of the winehq ones 
(that way there's no need to uninstall libwine either).

Thanks for the help guys, I'm new to Linux. :) I edited the sources.list and
tried to install Ove's wine but this is what happens:

It's basically the same error as in my first post. I think something with my
cache is wrong..

Woohoo, it worked! Thanks A LOT!  :D

Ok thanks, I'll keep that in mind. :)
