Do you have the i386 architecture enabled, via 'dpkg --add-architecture
i386'?
I have:
$ dpkg --print-architecture
amd64
$ dpkg --print-foreign-architectures
i386
With that configuration, having updated the package list just last
night, I get:
$ apt-cache policy wine32
wine32:i386:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: 1.8~rc3-1
Version table:
1.8~rc3-1 500
500 http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian testing/main i386 Packages
1.6.2-20 500
500 http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian stable/main i386 Package
This is on testing, as you can see, but AFAIK it's standard practice to
have sources.list tracking either A: stable alone or B: two suites at
once, whether stable+testing or stable+sid or testing+sid; not to
mention, I'd be at least mildly surprised if wine32 were not present in
sid.
I'm not sure whether this is relevant / related to the problem you're
seeing, but it's enough of a mismatch with my observations to seem worth
pointing out for consideration.
My current guess is that you have a 64-bit-only Wine present, and are
trying to run a 32-bit EXE. The only solution to that, AFAIK, is to
install either pure 32-bit Wine or properly-integrated bi-architecture
Wine. (Time was I might have recommended building the latter from
source, but doing so in current Debian is a _royal_ pain, so you're
probably best off trying to get the packaged versions working.)
