[Wine] using several wine versions from .deb packages?

[Joerg Hoehle]

Hi,

Wine documentation says that it can be installed anywhere, locate its
libraries and just run.  This is certainly true for self-compiled
sources which could e.g. be run from their compiled location.

I wonder if this is also possible with pre-built Debian/Ubuntu binary
packages.  Normally, Debian installs exactly one version of a package
in /usr/.

Is there some possibility to use multiple versions concurrently, e.g.
dpkg -i --root=/home/wine9.09 wine0.9.19.deb
dpkg -i --root=/home/wine20050725 wine20050725.deb
or something similar?  Does anybody have experience with this?

How to mix/match both a regularly installed wine in /usr and a local
one in /home and be sure /home/wine does not use /usr/wine?

/home/wine9.09/bin/wine foo.exe > log1
/hmoe/wine2005/bin/wine foo.exe > log2

That would be valuable for regression testing.

Thanks for your help,
