Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: wine
I have recently upgraded my system from Edgy (6.10) to Feisty (7.04).
I have been using the wine repositories instead of the ubuntu repos since
Dapper and never had a problem.
I am using wine version 0.9.37 obtained from the wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt
feisty repository. Running DVD Shrink in wine under Edgy (6.10) worked as
expected. After upgrading my system to Feisty (7.04) On attempting to run DVD
Shrink from the created entry in the Applications list, you get an error
message saying xvidcore.dll is not found. This error will not go away by
clicking the OK button, I need to use xkill to end it. If you look in System
Monitor you may find an entry for DVD Shrink running as zombie. If you attempt
to execute DVD Shrink from the command line, you get an unlimited string of
error messages and occasional popups about the missing xvidcore.dll. If you
hit ctrl-c early in the list of error messages, sometimes the application will
load. When loaded, sometimes it will work, sometimes it is frozen. If you
place a copy of xvidcore.dll in the system32 folder in wine, the application
will not work at all. This file was never needed in the past.
Expected behavior:
Should continue to run normally as before in previous versions of Ubuntu and
wine.
DVD Shrink has had a gold rating at winehq.org for some time, it has now
regressed to a rating of garbage.
A bug report has also been filed at winehq.org on this problem.
** Affects: wine (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
