Would it be acceptable to show a debconf dialog/warning to the user? For example
``` playonlinux requires a 32-bit installation of wine Please make sure multi-arch is enabled: dpkg --add-architecture i386 && apt update And install the wine:i386 package: apt install wine:i386 ``` I spent some time debugging this before finding the bug report. To make matters worse the playonlinux message is very vague. I think reminding users to manually install a dependency would help many. Thanks
