OK, thanks for this. I will close the report as I don't think there is a bug as
such, just a backports version combination that needed to be worked around.

Thanks for your expert direction so far, Mark, but I am abandoning wine 
at this point, and have removed all traces from my system. I took a look 
at the staggeringly-large list of :i386 packages that were required to 
support wine32 & decided "no thanks".
