Bug#1034052: winetricks: winetrick searches for 32 bit wine as wine32, not wine

[Thomas Dorner]

Package: winetricks
Version: 20230212-2
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: debia...@th-dorner.de

Dear Maintainer,

I have the following wine multiarch installation in Sid:

While setting up a new Wine environment winetricks aborted with the

After simply creating a hard-link between /usr/lib/wine/wine and
/usr/lib/wine/wine32 it worked. I guess this is either a bug in the
winetricks or the wine (32 bit) package, at least it looks like
something not consistent. The fix should be easy in each of them. (I
did not try a soft-link, but that probably works as well.)

Best regards, Thomas

PS: Classified as "normal" as it has a very easy work-around.

With the same packages installed I successfully did the following tests:

rm -rf .wine
wineboot
winetricks vcrun2019

rm -rf .wine
winetricks vcrun2019

rm -rf .wine
regedit

This is an error message from Wine. Winetricks doesn't look for "wine32".

Please remove the hardlink again and report the output of "wine --version".

You may also reinstall wine (apt purge wine wine32 wine64 && apt install
wine wine32 wine64) and check again.


Thanks and greets

Hello Jens!

Hmm, I tried it again today (after removing my hard-link), and I
couldn't reproduce it either. I did some other changes / updates in
the meantime though (esp. installing winbind and some Samba packages,
which I did not have installed last week). So I guess we can close
this as a glitch specific to my environment. Should I encounter it
again, I'll reopen with a more through analysis.

wine-8.0 (Debian 8.0~repack-4)

Thanks for your efforts and best regards,
Thomas
