Binary package hint: wine
When I click on a .exe file with the intention of running it with WINE,
I get the following message:
=== Message in the MessageBox ===
The filename "FarCryAutoCD.exe" indicates that this file is of type
"executable". The contents of the file indicate that the file is of type
"DOS/Windows executable". If you open this file, the file might present
a security risk to your system.
Do not open the file unless you created the file yourself, or received
the file from a trusted source. To open the file, rename the file to the
correct extension for "DOS/Windows executable", then open the file
normally. Alternatively, use the Open With menu to choose a specific
application for the file.
=== End of Message ===
Although its slightly funny, it sure looks like a bug. The mime-type
associated with the .exe extension should be "DOS/WIndows execute" and
not "executable"
I'm not entirely sure which package to file this bug with, so i've set
it up for wine. But perhaps the whole mime-type dealing stuff is
somewhere else ..
