Bug#474289: Wine can't access network if libnss-mdns is installed on amd64
Package: wine Version: 1.4.1-2 Followup-For: Bug #474289 Dear Maintainer, maybe now it's not a real bug (as for me, 'wine iexplore' can succesfully browse WWW pages, e.g. http://www.winehq.org/), but Wine still displays an annoying Wine Warning every time it starts: It appears that libnss-mdns is installed on your system, but lib32nss-mdns is not. Please note that Wine will not be able to access the Internet unless you either install lib32nss-mdns (or ia32-libnss-mdns), or uninstall libnss-mdns. This message is somewhat confusing: 1) as for now, ia32-libnss-mdns doesn't doesn't exist in Debian archives; 2) lib32nss-mdns is an existing package, but seems to be not a very good choice, according to the current Debian multiarch approach (it should recommend libnss-mdns:i386); BTW, it seems that libnss-mdns haven't been converted to multiarch yet. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages wine depends on: ii wine-bin 1.4.1-2 wine recommends no packages. wine suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#474289: Wine can't access network if libnss-mdns is installed on amd64
:Now, I'm probably among a small minority of users who use the i386 distribution :(hence 32-bit userspace) with the packaged linux-image-2.6-amd64 kernel (hence :64-bit kernel). So at least in my case, as well as the case of people who, like :me, have decided upon an i386 userspace with an x86_64 arch kernel the error is :spurious, since our libnss-dns is actually appropriate, being 32-bit. I note that the latest wine package uses dpkg --print-architecture. Thank you for the change. Amit -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

I notice that there's now a notification in the 0.9.60-1 packages informing users using x86_64 kernels that if libnss-mdns is installed, unless lib32nss-mdns is installed, Internet access will not work. Now, I'm probably among a small minority of users who use the i386 distribution (hence 32-bit userspace) with the packaged linux-image-2.6-amd64 kernel (hence 64-bit kernel). So at least in my case, as well as the case of people who, like me, have decided upon an i386 userspace with an x86_64 arch kernel the error is spurious, since our libnss-dns is actually appropriate, being 32-bit. I propose that this be changed to reflect the architecture of the userspace rather than the kernelspace (which in this corner case isn't relevant). So rather than doing this in /usr/bin/wine: ARCH=`uname -m` you could perhaps use DEB_HOST_ARCH in debian/rules to generate the ARCH= line appropriately at package build time. The message is innocuous but somewhat confusing for people using a 32-bit userspace with a 64-bit kernel, given that we don't have a lib32nss-mdns package.

Bug#474289: Wine can't access network if libnss-mdns is installed on amd64
Package: wine Severity: important I file this bug to raise awareness of libnss-mdns bug #430845. URL: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=430845 Summary: If you're on amd64 and your web browsers cannot access the network, check if libnss-mdns is installed, and if so, you'll need to also install lib32nss-mdns, or uninstall libnss-mdns. Explanation: ibnss-mdns overrides the default resolver, but it neither installs its 32-bit version by default, nor falls back to the default resolver. Hence, libnss-mdns without lib32nss-mdns leaves 32-bit apps completely without a resolver. Fixing the problem would involve some package somehow enforcing this dependency. And it doesn't appear that the nss-mdns maintainers have managed to do this for a while... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
