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?

    It's safe to say that Firefox is dead. There's no way they can recover at this point, and even if they possibly could, everything so far indicates that Mozilla just isn't willing to attempt this.

    Firefox is just going to remain dead. The last remaining users will bleed off soon enough.
