How to upgrade? There are no other wine debs available. Anyway, yes, it is 64bit. Which are the parts? aren't they all dependencies of the deb? Thank
For most programs to work through wine right now you need to use the 32 bit wine, even on a 64 bit operating system. Many distros that use a repository system will either have 32 bit wine available in the 64 bit repositories or their forums will have instructions for where to grab 32 bit wine. You will also need to be sure you have the 32 bit version of your graphics drivers and of the support libraries for wine. Many distros will have a "package" or "core" version of 32 bit wine that should have all the basic libraries and such included in it for you, but you will have to search for your video driver.
64 bit wine is still a work in progress and so it is common to have trouble with games when using it. Very few windows games are written to take advantage of 64 bit operating systems yet so you usually don't lose anything by using 32 bit wine.
You may have best luck uninstalling 64 bit wine before installing 32 bit to cut down on confusion. You may be able to move any game folders out of your wine directory to somewhere safe and then move them back in after the new install, if that will save you download time/megs.
