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?

This is a very relevant submission for SN. It highlights yet another serious problem affecting Debian these days. These problems just keep adding up, and it has gotten a lot worse since the whole systemd debacle.
This is just the kind of news I want to find at SN. This is the kind of news that nobody else covers, but it still impacts thousands and thousands of people.
This is a lot better than yet another shitty submission about that man who robbed that store in Ferguson and then attacked the cops and got shot to death. This submission is at least relevant and useful!
