I did find one entry where someone made a backup copy of wine-pthread from an older wine install and that works for them but I am not that good with linux yet.  I suppose I could uninstall wine, disable wine repositories for latest version, and lock myself in on whatever version comes with 8.04 from official repositories.

Wine pthread is dead, gone and not going to return because Linux and
UNIX both do not support it anymore.  If you really, really, really need
it, get Wine 1.0.1 for now.
