it should, but i have developed a habit of copying everything to a
.wine-working before i start screwing with stuff.

also if time permits, start looking at what files wine is creating and where
they are going.  /usr/bin /usr/lib /usr/include or /usr/local/bin....

some times files are not removed completely and will confilct with the version
you replace them with. use a file manager(i use mc) and sort by date and many
times associated files will group together.  this is especially true if you
build your own.
