Bug#742423: wine-unstable is *still* unusable

2014-03-23 Thread Marc Dequènes (Duck)

Control: severity -1 critical

Coin,

You closed #742021 and #742317 in a hurry, but the logic in  
/usr/bin/wine-unstable is to look for the real 32/64 binaries in the  
same directory while you moved them into /usr/lib/wine-unstable/, thus  
your package is unusable.


Clearly this release was *again* not tested, not the slightest. I fear  
I don't understand how running wine --version or the like would be  
difficult or time consuming enough to justify such kind of blind  
uploads while you're in the process of a complete rework of  
wine/wine-unstable packages (to be co-installable if I understood it  
well). You're really harming Debian and Debian users doing so, so  
please consider rethinking how you work for Debian, delegating,  
dropping packages to have a decent workload, i don't know, but PLEASE  
DO SOMETHING!


Regards.

Bug#742423: wine-unstable is *still* unusable

2014-03-23 Thread Marc Dequènes (Duck)

Quoting Marc Dequènes (Duck) d...@duckcorp.org:

You closed #742021 and #742317 in a hurry, but the logic in  
/usr/bin/wine-unstable is to look for the real 32/64 binaries in the  
same directory while you moved them into /usr/lib/wine-unstable/,  
thus your package is unusable.


Broken analysis due to a workaround. Here is the trace of the current problem:

$ winecfg
+ basename /usr/bin/winecfg .exe
+ appname=winecfg.exe
+ test -z
+ test ! -z
+ WINEPREFIX=/home/duck/.wine
+ test -e /home/duck/.wine/system.reg
+ wine=/usr/bin/wine
+ exec /usr/bin/wine winecfg.exe
/usr/bin/winecfg: 36: exec: /usr/bin/wine: not found

I'm not using wine directly but through playonlinux, thus there is no  
trace of me using wine-unstable in any reg file, this is a broken  
assumption.


Btw you also broke using playonlinux or other tools around because  
they all expect a wine binary and not wine-unstable. Unless there  
is an alternative mechanism for choosing the default version i think  
using wine-unstable remains unusable (but using an alternative would  
probably break your current logic).
