Package: wine
Version: 10.0~repack-6
When using the integrated Wine "hh.exe" CHM viewer to open a CHM help on
Debian Trixie, only a blank (white) page appears.
This can be tested for example by installing "7-Zip" using Winetricks and
opening its "7-Zip Help" desktop entry afterwards.
Hello,
this seems caused by Debian's wine having disabled automatic
download of gecko packages. [1]
Unfortunately it looks like it stays disabled even when manually
downloading and installing gecko packages from here [2][3].
Either way, at the console I get a message like in [4].
Kind regards,
Bernhard
