I say to you it isn't the case. :)
Do not hate me, please.
After download of CVS snapshot I compiled it from a dir in my home (/home/leo/wine). There is winedefault.reg, but I do not understand if wine reads it or the user.reg and system.reg in my .wine/ dir
The emulation of registry is based on .wine/system.reg =>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and user.reg => HKEY_CURRENT_USER.
At the very start of wine these 2 files are empty/nonexistent => the registry is empty.
To initiate it, you must import values into it via the program regedit. Default values that works well are in winedefault.reg.
When you issue 'regedit winedefault.reg', this file is read and its values are imported into system.reg and user.reg.
Now your debugger problem : you have installed a previous version some months ago and wine architecture changed. winedbg isn't at the same place as before.
You have the old value in system.reg so wine doesn't find it anymore.
running 'regedit winedefault.reg' will update your old values with new ones and set the correct location for the debugger. (and many others)
