Wine 0.9.22 binaries?
Posts: 3
Hello, I'm trying to intall wine 0.9.22 binaries from http://wine.budgetdedicated.com repository from winehq.com downloads section, the same that I use for my ubuntu machine.
I already added the repository to synaptic but the package doesn't appear.
Any help will be apreciated

This site works better with 0.9.22 -- Interesting

Is there supposed to be something special about 0.9.22, or is there a specific reason you need the same version on both machines?
Wow. I'll answer my own question (unless something about the forums here changed).
With Firefox for Windows 1.5.0.7, the mepis.org forums didn't render correctly with the version of Wine I was using from the default repositories (at least not the last time I tried it here).
I had strange lines through the middle of the browser on a few other sites here and there, too (although most worked OK with the version of Wine I've been using).
But, I don't see these issues running Wine 0.9.22. I'm typing this post using Firefox for Windows 1.5.0.7 with Wine 0.9.22 now.

Thank you (for posting a link to a site that has newer binaries for Wine, since 0.9.22 there appeasr to be newer than the 0.9.9.... Ubuntu version). Aren't version numbers confusing? 
I'm going to leave Wine 0.9.22 it on my PC, since it appears to resolve some issues I was having with the Wine version in the Ubuntu repositories.

Add it like this:

Add it like this with Synaptic (Settings>Repositories>New)
Then, press the Reload button to reload the package lists, search for Wine, highlight it and use the Synaptic menu choice for Package, Force Version. You can then select Wine 0.9.22 from the drop down list that also shows the version in the default repositories.
Then, after forcing the version, select Apply, and It will remove any current version (along with associated libraries and install 0.9.22.
I just tried it, and it looked like it tried and couldn't remove a fonts directory. But, otherwise it installed OK.
Firefox 1.5.0.7 for Windows under Wine along with Flash Player 9.0.16.0 for Windows run OK under this version, based on a quick check of MTV Overdrive.
But, it also ran just fine under the Wine version in the existing repositories.
I didn't run winecfg from a console as root after installing it (as I normally would after installing wine), since I don't know if I'll leave it or not.
Is there supposed to be something special about 0.9.22, or is there a specific reason you need the same version on both machines?
