Hello, I have Wine and Cross Over Office installed for a year or more and it survived Ubuntu updates since Dapper transparently. Since I updated to Hardy I noticed the Windows Applications were still running normally, but winecfg was crashing (for both CXOffice and Wine 0.9.54 and 0.9.55 from Ubuntu repositories and wineHQ).

I thought it was a good idea to use Synaptics to fully remove both CXOffice and Wine, remove ~/.wine directory as well as any remaining wine apps system wide and re-install Wine 0.9.55 with Synaptics. Well, I should had browsed Launchpad a little before doing that... Now I am having the same problems you are all describing above and it is impossible to run any WIndows app. WIne won't even create ~/.wine directory without segfaulting.

I have also tried 0.9.54 and 0.9.55 debs from WineHQ with the same results.
Right now I am trying to compile from source (it will take a while here) and I'll post the results soon.

So, is there any conclusion on how to work around this?

Regards,
Effenberg
