--- Comment #12 from Ralf Jung post+wine@ralfj.de --- Sorry, I never tried the WineHQ packages. In my experience, things work much better when I do not add additional repositories to APT. However, since it is likely that the bug is caused by Debian's patch, I guess I should report it downstream.
Prefix creation now takes a minute on my new machine (Skylake Quadcore, SSD). Is that a normal, expected time or should it be way faster?
