Dear all,
the script tools/wineinstall suggest to uninstall wine first if you update an existing installation.
This makes senses but it is uncomfortable that the script doesn't offer the option to do that for the user. You always have to su before installing a new version
Thx Christian

That's because it's unable to determine how it was installed in the first place, and where the files are located. The "wine" program itself is usually easy to find, but not necessarily so for the dlls and other installed files.
rpm -e, the equivalent under Debian, make uninstall (from original source tree), etc. are all different ways to install Wine.

Bon soir Vincent, dear all,

Well, it shouldn't be too hard to detect that or at least offer manual choice.
Wait a sec ... this would mean I probably could do it myself, OMG! ;-)
Will changes to wineinstall be accepted at this point of time?

P.S.: apt-get [--purge] remove on debian.
