That is not a valid Wine version; it's simply your distro's name for it's package. To get the real version, open a terminal and type

Code: Select all

wine --version

then hit enter.

To find out the version of winetricks, type

Code: Select all

winetricks --version

then hit enter.

Im not sure what you mean about mkdir -p and that stuff.

Copy and paste

Code: Select all

mkdir -p ~/.cache/winetricks/foobar

and hit enter.

Report back here the results of all three commands.

mkdir -p ~/.cache/winetricks/foobar

Linux design principle #1: successful commands are silent.

Only errors are reported unless the command accepts a 'verbose' option
and you supplied one.

Try a clean wineprefix. If you still have problems, report it to http://code.google.com/p/winetricks/issues/list
