For servers i'ts pretty much clear, but in regard to testing vs unstable this
was decisive part for me: "Testing has more up-to-date software than Stable,
and it breaks less often than Unstable. But when it breaks, it might take a
long time for things to get rectified. Sometimes this could be days and it
could be months at times. It also does not have permanent security support."

Well, in the past I spent >10yrs with rolling distros (Gentoo & Arch) and
thought that Fedora might be good option providign newer packages and I had
good experience with smoooth upgrades between releases, bつt last incidents
were too much and I never experienced such thing with Debian.

However, 'stable' is too old for me, although I'll probably put it on my
relative's machined and between 'testing' and 'unstable' I believe
that the latter is bette option.

Thank you for helpful advice!

Few days ago I migrated from Fedora (fc28) where I had serious issues with
4.17.x kernel series experiencing system hangs several times per day when
leaving my machine unattended to Debian Sid where there are nothing similar (so
far).

However, I have a need to run several apps under Wine, but attempt to install
it on my x86_64 was an impossible mission - it seems that wine32 is broken.
Finally, after enabling WineHQ repo and installing from there, eveything is
fine. :-)

Maybe I don't understand your "nothing has actually been written to

But when I try the installer with the default settings, the program is 
installed in:


$WINEPREFIX/drive_c/users//Local Settings/Application Data/OLB

Oh *NO*
u answered question ???


Every two weeks there is a new wine version with a lot of bug fixes. 
Probably this bug is resolved.

Now only a "fixme" warning is printed:
0009:fixme:file:MoveFileWithProgressW MOVEFILE_WRITE_THROUGH 
unimplemented


To answer your "is there a catalog of Wine error messages?" question.
No, there isn't a list with "error x happend ->  the message means this 
-> you should do this"




You could read the FAQ, the manual and the forum on winehq.org if you 
look for error messages.

I have reason to doubt the first problem is a bug in wine &/or Debian.
Long after the error message above appears, there is an *installer* 
warning that "a non wine program is being executed under wine". I 
suspect that the wine compliant version requires a paid unlock code - 
there are ambiguities on the website that I've already reported.


I suspect the error message quoted above is either a wine bug or 
something strange about my system.


The installer is [install_advance_5.40.00.00.exe] from 
[https://onlinebible.net/].


Comments?
