wine is (not) installed? What am I missing?

[michaa7]

It's not a problem, but I'd like to understand:

How is this possible within one installation (keine = none)?

# apt-cache policy wine
wine:
 Installiert:           (keine)
 Installationskandidat: 1.4.1-4
 Versionstabelle:
    1.4.1-4 0
       900 http://http.debian.net/debian/ sid/main i386 Packages
       500 http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ testing/main i386 Packages
    1.0.1-3.1 0
       500 http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/ stable/main i386 Packages

$ wine --version
wine-1.4.1

Wine is working! I am useing mp3DirectCut, a windows programm. But why doesn't apt know about it?
Are all wine files "installed" only within the users home directory? This would explain the situation because my home is rather old ( from "sidux" times ).

Could someone please explain whether I'm right or not?

It does not. But I assume all's ok.

Thanks.

wine is a metapackage. It must not be installed for using wine.
