[pkg-wine-party] Bug#734253: winecfg, winepath, wineboot default to wine64 and fail with WINEARCH set

[Christoph Reiter <reiter.christoph@gmail.com>]

Package: wine
Version: 1.6.1-12
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

first of all, thanks for your recent work on wine.

I've noticed that wine utils like winecfg etc now default to wine64. I'm not
sure if this changed because I've installed wine64 or because of a recent
update.

A workaround for all problem described below is to start all commands with wine
like "wine <command>"

Here is a list of problems I noticed:

* wine defaults to wine32 while winecfg defaults to wine64

unset WINEARCH
rm -rf foo # fresh env
export WINEPREFIX=`pwd`/foo
wine wineboot -u
# wine32 env created
winecfg  # fails with ".../foo' is a 32-bit installation, it cannot support
64-bit applications."
wine winecfg # works

* setting WINEARCH to win32 makes winecfg fail and create a half finished
wine32 env (drive_c is empty)

rm -rf foo # fresh env
export WINEPREFIX=`pwd`/foo
export WINEARCH=win32
winecfg # fails with ".../foo' is a 32-bit installation, it cannot support
64-bit applications."
# this ends with a half created wine32 env (drive_c is empty)

* Since a recent update msiexec is missing (wine msiexec still works) .

regards
