Before I installed the faulty wine packages, I made backups of the previous
wine packages:
cd /tmp
dpkg-repack wine
dpkg-repack libwine
dpkg-repack libwine-dev
When I realized the new wine package was broken, I just reinstalled from the
backups. I like the idea about 'apt-get autoclean' and will try that next
time.
