Bug Description
After today's upgrade apt installed wine 5.0 ~ rc1-1ubuntu4 from the focal-proposed repository.
From then on the installed windows applications, which were running normally with wine 4.0.3-1, stopped working.
I opened a shell terminal and ran winecfg manually getting the following feedback:
etm @ etm: ~ $ winecfg
wine: chdir to / run / user / 1000 / wine / server-811-1b403b2: No such file or directory
The same is true of the other applications I try to run manually.

I applied the following workaround:
- In my Ubuntu installation I found the "/run" folder. So I went to the root and gave a:
find | grep server-811
- This command returned me a reference location in "/tmp/.
So I went to the folder
cd /run/user/1000
- I had to create the "wine" folder inside because it didn't exist. There was only an empty folder called "winw".
mkdir wine
- I entered the folder
cd wine
- Then I made a link to the file that wine was complaining about:
ln -s /tmp/.wine-
Once the link was created in "/run/user/
