[Wine] Updates

[Walt Ogburn]

Hi James,

Hmm, strange.  Now that you mention it, I see the same thing.  It
certainly seems like it *should* keep the protected flag from one update
to the next.  Perhaps you should report that to the SuSE guys.

Did you install wine from an RPM?  Whenever I install an RPM that didn't
come from the SuSE distribution, it's automatically "protected" and it
does stay that way.  So even though my "protected" flags aren't
persistent, third-party packages don't get updated.

- Walter
