Steven, please allow one blank line before posting your answer. This 
will make it more readable for others by clearly visualizing what you 
said against what the previous poster said.

On the Wine HQ website you will find download and then a repository for 
Ubuntu. The GPG key in question is just one small part of the install 
which is greatly documented in a step by step manner, there.

So, if you are not using this repository, you do not care for the key.
If you are using the repository and followed the instructions, you will 
already have the key.

My guess it that your tremendous amount of data was cause by
"sudo apt-get upgrade" and wine was ignored but who knows.


At least I would advise to reinstall e-Sword. Also I suggest you start 
cleanly by deleting your .wine directory. Then start winecfg from a 
command line shortly, which will create a new .wine file structure.

Then install e-sword and trick your wine with "winetricks" to make it work.


  Should I get that from the e-Sword

You should either get it from the e-Sword page or from your harddisk 
where you had downloaded it last time.

In relation to Jaunty, just let us know. On principle, I do not use 
alpha or beta versions for work. However I hear nothing but praise about 
Jaunty.
