I had the same problem. After a lot of experimenting I ditched the deb
version, fetched the tarball version from the dosemu site, and installed
it in /usr/local rather than in $HOME as suggested in the docs. I can
can now run it as root using sudo (which is necessary because I want it
to use the dos partition on my hard disk).
