See attached for the required data. Please note, for example, that wine x86_64 is dependent on wine-core.i686 even though wine-core-1.3.33-1.fc16.x86_64 is installed. My general assumption is that it is probably not a great idea to have i686/x64 duplicates on the same system. All of the 64 bit packages that were duplicated by an i686 package were re-installed via yum. However, once the i686 duplicates are removed, wine no longer functions.

Comment 2 Andreas Bierfert 2011-12-24 15:24:26 UTC
What you are seeing is correct and intended behavior.

Wine(x86-64) can run Windows 64bit applications
Wine(x86-32) can run Windows 32bit applications

Thus we pull in x86-32 packages on x86-64 since the common use is more on 32bit applications. You can avoid this by not installing the wine meta package but the dependent packages except the 32bit versions.
