A grave bug has been introduced into the "wine" package of Debian Jessie, just days before the November 5th freeze deadline. The /usr/bin/wine launch script fails with an "error: unable to find wine executable. this shouldn't happen." message.

Debian has already suffered much unrest lately over the inclusion of systemd, with threats of a fork being issued, along with the possible cancellation of the GNU/kFreeBSD port and the possible dropping of support for the SPARC architecture. After so much strife and disruption, can Debian afford to have such a serious bug affect such a critical package so soon before such a major freeze?

    WTF, systemd *emulates* windows executables? I thought Lennart was going to rewrite them, one by one, putting them all in systemd.

    "So, get yourself a copy of The win64 API, ignore everything it says about DirectX compatibility and hack away your amazing Windows software. It's quite relieving!"

    Maybe he's getting old.
