Hi ruisivi, thank you for filing this bug report and working with us to help make Ubuntu better!

authbind works by setting LD_PRELOAD, and wine does not work well with LD_PRELOAD, as they have to do a lot of syscall/library trickery to make windows calls work in Linux.

This thread explains a lot of it:

Given the incompatible designs of the two systems, I don't think authbind and wine will ever work correctly together, and I have to mark this as Invalid as well.
