A searched on 3 machines and found this behaviour only on the one where the installation was performed the longuest time ago, i.e. around 2002. My guess is that this behaviour was introduced by a previous incarnation of harden (woody/sarge), and the old setting persisted upon updates. It should be verified that _ACTUAL_ packages still introduce the behaviour. If there are none, then this bug is void. OTOH ... The fourth line of /usr/bin/wine may be replaced by: MACHINE=`uname -m` if [ $MACHINE == 'x86_64' ] %# code specific to IA86_64 / AMD 64 ... end The only dependency this introduces is the GNU coreutils package.
