I was thinking of downgrading WINE, so I followed the instructions in the manual:

***

enable/uncomment testing sources in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.list

apt-get update

***

Then I changed my mind and didn't downgrade anything. I didn't install anything either.

I followed the instructions again to return everything back to normal:

***

comment the testing sources in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.list

apt-get update

***

Everything did NOT return to normal.

For example, the installed version of wine is shown as 1.4-7 BUT the LATEST VERSION of wine is shown as 1.4.1-1

so if I go apt-get install wine

it wants to downgrade me!

it seems to be still running on the testing sources -- making THEM the latest version.

Can someone, please, help?

1.4 is smaller than 1.4.1, so this is not a downgrade … henceforth i don't understand your problem.

Also, is this an amd64 system? And if so, is it MultiArch enabled?

[wine maintainers choose to fast-forward on MultiArch so it is not available on amd64 anymore and deploys tricks to get it from i386 instead …]
