Hello Ben,
I update my debian including your repository to download the wine-packages. Today in the morning the new version of wine 1.1.17 came in. Now I saw in the list of processes this:
---<cite - begin>--- UID PID PPID C STIME TTY TIME CMD joerg 19311 3547 0 21:56 ? 00:00:00 winver joerg 19314 1 3 21:56 ? 00:00:01 /usr/bin/../lib/../bin/wineserver joerg 19320 1 0 21:56 ? 00:00:00 c:\windows\system32\services.exe joerg 19322 19320 0 21:56 ? 00:00:00 c:\windows\system32\winedevice.exe cdenable joerg 19327 19320 0 21:56 ? 00:00:00 c:\windows\system32\winedevice.exe MountMgr joerg 19336 1 0 21:56 ? 00:00:00 c:\windows\system32\explorer.exe /desktop joerg 19425 17858 0 21:57 pts/1 00:00:00 ps -f -u joerg ---<cite - end>--- (result of: ps -f -u joerg after starting winver - the wine version info)
This '/usr/bin/../lib/../bin/wineserver' is a little bit confused isn't it? The executable 'wineserver' lives in '/usr/bin'. So this has to be '/usr/bin/wineserver', or?
What's wrong?
It still works, that much demonstrates there's nothing actually "wrong".
/usr/bin/../lib/../bin is the same as /usr/bin, it's just a bit roundabout. The ".." directories mean "go to the parent directory". Regardless, I've CC'd wine-devel in case it can be cleaned up.
