Comment 17 for bug 202456

1) I have terrible problems elsewhere preventing me to help Ubuntu for
the time being
2) I consider offensive to mark this bug as "Invalid" after the work
time I have spent on it and after having seen no followups except mine
3) I consider offensive to suggest to return it to "New" after I have
provided all asked details. It's fully confirmed.
4) I wonder why my having no time can govern the outcome of a bug anyone
can experiment; BTW, I have Confirmed it on a plain up to dated Ubuntu
8.04.1 on another hardware
5) I'm using 8.04 and I obviously cannot install Wine using a Live CD.
Does no one using 8.10 really have a few minutes to make that test
instead of asking me to find hardware to install 8.10?
6) I wonder what's the importance of Wine if nobody else complains of a
real problem.
I consider Wine as the "Portal to Linux". If other people were
packaging Windows programs to DEBs with a frontend script like I do, it
would shut the mouth of those saying that Linux lacks this or that
program (principally games) and Ubuntu would be much different with Wine
programs distributed and installed the same way as Linux programs.
7) Again, I question the methods used by Ubuntu to solve a bug. What's
the use of reporting if no developer comes to the reporter (when anyone
cannot experiment it) to ask for details? What's the use to watch every
next release in mere hope of a fix?
8) This bug exists in 8.04 and, according to what LTS means, a user
should know what updates to apply to a no-Internet-access installation
to solve it, not know that the problem is fixed in another release.
9) I wonder if I must continue to help, use and promote Ubuntu if the
result is frustration

Wine is such a important piece it deserves more attention.
