You should be able to update without de-installing your existing Wine
program and file installation.

I don't know what "supprime" means (it's not an English word), but if you have upgraded Wine via the Synaptic Package manager, that is most certainly "enough".

When you next run wine (or an application that uses Wine), the WINEPREFIX will update itself with the new Wine data (you will see a small dialog box to this effect), after which the program will launch.

Hope this answers your question.

Not yet that I know of. All of the downloadable Wine releases for Linux
are 32 bit for now.

Fedora and openSUSE both provide 64 bit packages, and have done so for over a year.

OTOH, last I remember seeing here, about the only thing 64-bit wine
is currently useful for is testing 64-bit wine. There are not many
64-bit Windows apps, and 32-bit wine, being more mature, does a
better job of running 32-bit Windows apps (even on a 64-bit OS).

It's true that 64 bit Wine is not necessary if you don't have any 64 bit apps you are trying to run. As for how well it runs 32 bit apps, I have not had a problem with the 64 bit openSUSE packages, and all my apps are 32 bit.
