Selenia posted : 1.4.1(current stable wine) compiled very easily on my hybrid squeeze(stable running some testing, compiled, and unstable packages). The Debian package is just too old for me(1.0.x). Try grabbing the source from WineHQ and building. I have had better luck with support for certain things, both with Debian and Ubuntu(back when I was trying it out).

I don't believe that wine is stable on debian sid yet.

I'm running a stable version of WINE on my Debian SID, so what makes you think it isn't stable?

If one follows the directions laid out in this post - »dev.carbon-project.org/debian/wine-unstable/
one would have a stable WINE environment.

The 64-bit verson gives me this error:

[reub2000@reub2000 ~]$ wine .wine/drive_c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/Adobe/Adobe\ Digital\ Editions/digitaleditions.exe ** Debian / Wine: Multiarch Instructions ** This is the wine64-bin helper package, which does not provide wine itself,but instead exists solely to provide the following information aboutenabling multiarch on your system in order to be able to install and runthe 32-bit wine packages. The following commands should be issued as root or via sudo in order toenable multiarch (the last command installs 32-bit wine):   # dpkg --add-architecture i386  # apt-get update  # apt-get install wine-bin:i386 Be very careful as spaces matter above.  Note that this package(wine64-bin) will be removed in the process.  For more information onthe multiarch conversion, see: http://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch/HOWTO (okay)

The i386 version gives me this error:

[reub2000@reub2000 ~]$ wine .wine/drive_c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/Adobe/Adobe\ Digital\ Editions/digitaleditions.exe wine: '/home/reub2000/.wine' is a 64-bit installation, it cannot be used with a 32-bit wineserver.
