They don't keep old versions around.  If you install your packages via
apt-get, it leaves the installed packages in /var/cache/apt/archives.
Check there first.  There's a command "apt-get autoclean" that deletes
everything but the most recent copies of all packages.  I always do that
before apt-get upgrading, and wait till I know new stuff is stable to
delete old packages.

Think about it, if they just kept the current version, and the one before
it, it would double their storage requirements.

I uploaded the packages to here:

http://www.op.net/~darxus/libwine_0.0.991114-2_i386.deb
http://www.op.net/~darxus/wine_0.0.991114-2_i386.deb

Let me know when you're done with them, I'll probably take them down soon.
They took me over quota.

What I ended up doing was downloading & compiling the latest source.  It's
more recent than the latest .deb.  And it has a make uninstall.


I'm still trying to figure out how to get wine to capture my mouse, so it
works for games.
