It isn't? Will this resolve the deps correctly instead of installing a fake wine64-bin? Since wine64-bin does not ensure wine will work at all, I would at least suggest to use a high priority debconf question to draw attention to it, if no automated solution is possible. (My reopen attempt did not work out. I think it wold be good to let the report open. When trying to figure out what the problem was I came accross a closed bug that mentioned this, but I was lead on, because it suggested wine64-bin fixed it.) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
