I've been using Wine 1.1.21 up until now because when I did the auto-upgrade to 1.1.22 (or whatever the next version was) EVE stopped working; it started working again when I downgraded to 1.1.21.
I'm running Ubuntu 8.04 (2.6.24-24,53-generic) with kernel 185.18.14.
With the "status file not found" patch issue I'd like to upgrade to Wine 1.1.24, which I understand handles the manual patches appropriately. I invoked the upgrade manager, in which I've been unchecking 1.1.24 each time for the past few weeks. It appeared to work fine, but I still have 1.1.21 and the same patch problem.
I did an "ugradedb" and "locate", and find that I have a package at:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8364224 2009-06-22 09:46 /var/cache/apt/archives/wine_1.1.24~winehq0~ubuntu~8.10-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb
That's the only 1.1.24 on the system.
It also locates wine_1.1.21 in the usual installation places.
I tried "apt-get install wine", which tells me I have the latest version.
What should I do to make that 1.1.24 go active?
[Zymurgist: I saw your note about keeping Apocrypha 1.3 patch issues to the patch issues thread, but since this is an unsupported OS I thought it would be better not to bother the devs there.]

Turns out 1.1.24 was indeed installed... in /usr/bin. 1.1.21 was installed in /usr/local/bin, so it was getting seen before the "official" version. Guess when I compiled and installed it by hand I didn't put it in the standard place.
1.1.24 handled the patch installation just fine, and it didn't die on the "click here to d/l the full installer", as 1.1.21 had done.
I'm happy to see the wire frames on the probes are back (the reason I backed off of 1.1.22).

Thanks for the note. I was focused on the nvidia driver because I've been trying to get CUDA running (and was finally successful).
I'll check on the kernel upgrade -- I've been getting them only when Ubuntu's Update Manager decides it's time.

Good intel. I'll stick with 8.04 for now because it took me a good while to get CUDA (the nvidia driver that supports using the graphics card as a massive multiprocessor) running. There's an 8.10 version (brand new) but no 9.x CUDA, so sticking with a stable system sounds like the right idea at least until CUDA gets to the bleeding edge.
Thanks for the info.
P.S. The forum software is really bad. Apologies if this is a dupe... it ate my first one.
