	This isn't normal and isn't typical. There are something wrong with your Wine 
package or your system configuration. You can try to download source code 
from winehq.org: 
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/wine/wine-0.9.27.tar.bz2 . Then unpack, cd 
to directory with Wine source code and try to compile it by executing (if you 
have 64-bit system):

LDFLAGS="-L/lib32 -L/usr/lib32 -Wl,-rpath,/usr/lib32" \
./configure \
--x-libraries=/emul/ia32-linux/usr/X11R6/lib/ \
--x-includes=/emul/ia32-linux/usr/X11R6/include \
--with-x && \
make depend && \
make all && \
sudo make install;

	Or if you have 32-bit system:

LDFLAGS="-L/lib -L/usr/lib -Wl,-rpath,/usr/lib" \
./configure \
--x-libraries=/usr/X11R6/lib/ \
--x-includes=/usr/X11R6/include \
--with-x && \
make depend && \
make all && \
sudo make install;

	Please note that paths for your distribution may differ (if this is the case 
then change them accordingly).
	Before executing these command please uninstall your current Wine package.
