intrepid ibex in november.

same sources.list file on each, line not commented out.
on the old installation i get:

% sudo apt-get install wine

  Reading package lists... Done
  Building dependency tree
  Reading state information... Done
  wine is already the newest version.
  The following packages were automatically installed and are
  no longer required:
      linux-headers-2.6.27-7 linux-headers-2.6.27-7-generic
  Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
  0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not
  upgraded.

which is what one might reasonably expect.

still puzzled.
