I've just booted up Debian Sarge, and I don't have an /etc/apt/preferences. Doh! Ok. I've added the source URL for backports to /etc/apt/sources.list , then run aptitude update, then opened up synaptic. Wine is there, as a package from backports along with all the other backported packages, and as I thought also needs libwine as a dependency. Its DL'ing libwine (10.6MB) on dialup at the moment. BIG WARNING. Make sure to comment out the backports URL after DL'ing and installing Wine, and winelib, putting a # in front of the URL, and saving the change. If you don't do this, the next time you run an apt-get dist-upgrade, all the packages that you have on your machine, and are marked for updating from the backports repo, will be updated, which apart from Wine, if it installs ok, is not perhaps a good idea. libwine 49% done.
