Description of problem: Wine 64-bit isn't ready; that is the release criteria for wine-1.2 and the release freeze is still a few month out as there is still a lot of important work to be done. More important is that Wine 64-bit will break existing wine installations: - wine.i586 and wine.x86_64 are mutually exclusive; they cannot be installed at the same time as they cannot work with the WINEPREFIX (aka $HOME/.wine) created by the other arch. Wine 64-bit will just refuse to start when it sees a 32-bit $HOME/.wine - wine.x86_64 needs to include a 32-bit Wine version compiled to work in the 64-bit environment (configure --with-wine64=DIR # use the 64-bit Wine in DIR for a Wow64 build). That's the way how Windows implements 64-bit too. - The WoW64 code isn't finished yet, the registry part is still missing and 32-bit and 64-bit apps will clobber the registry. We got a few help requests from Fedora Wine users on the #winehq channel as their Wine is "broken". The fix is just to remove any wine*.x86_64 packages and make sure they have only the .i586 rpms installed. Please consider making wine again a i586 app only until the wine-1.2 is out. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): wine-1.1.32-1.fc11
Yah, an update of Wine seems to have screwed up my .wine even though I explicitly used `wine32`. I do see the following in my yum.log Nov 07 15:56:09 Updated: wine-fonts-1.1.32-1.fc11.noarch Nov 07 15:56:13 Updated: wine-core-1.1.32-1.fc11.x86_64 Nov 07 15:56:47 Updated: wine-core-1.1.32-1.fc11.i586 Nov 07 15:56:48 Updated: wine-twain-1.1.32-1.fc11.x86_64 Nov 07 15:56:48 Updated: wine-capi-1.1.32-1.fc11.x86_64 Nov 07 15:56:49 Updated: wine-ldap-1.1.32-1.fc11.x86_64 Nov 07 15:56:49 Updated: wine-pulseaudio-1.1.32-1.fc11.x86_64 Nov 07 15:56:49 Updated: wine-cms-1.1.32-1.fc11.x86_64 Nov 07 15:56:50 Updated: wine-ldap-1.1.32-1.fc11.i586 Nov 07 15:56:50 Updated: wine-pulseaudio-1.1.32-1.fc11.i586 Nov 07 15:56:51 Updated: wine-cms-1.1.32-1.fc11.i586 Nov 07 15:56:51 Updated: wine-twain-1.1.32-1.fc11.i586 Nov 07 15:56:51 Updated: wine-capi-1.1.32-1.fc11.i586 Nov 07 15:56:52 Updated: wine-desktop-1.1.32-1.fc11.noarch Nov 07 15:56:52 Updated: wine-common-1.1.32-1.fc11.noarch Nov 07 15:56:54 Updated: wine-1.1.32-1.fc11.x86_64 Now I get this "it cannot be used with wow64 Wine" which I assume has nothing to do with World of Warcraft
`yum remove "wine*.x86_64" && yum install "wine*.i586"` leaves me with a broken wine: wine: could not exec wineserver `yum remove "*wine*" && yum install wine` brings me back to where I was: wine: '/home/pembo13/.wine' is a 32-bit prefix, it cannot be used with wow64 Wine I really need an app that requires wine right now, couldn't have happened at a worse time.
I had to "remove" my ~/.wine to get things workings again.
(In reply to comment #3) > I had to "remove" my ~/.wine to get things workings again. I seem to have to do this after each wine32 use
