Dear maintainer, playonlinux depends on "wine | wine-unstable" but those package do not have to be installed on amd64 to have operational wine. For example on amd64 I'm getting the following error when I'm trying to install "playonlinux" while I have "wine-unstable:i386" installed:
~~~~
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
playonlinux : Depends: wine but it is not going to be installed or
wine-unstable but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
~~~~
Needless to say that such hard dependency make "playonlinux" unnecessary
difficult to install. Please consider to demote "wine | wine-unstable" to
Recommends.
Furthermore "wine-unstable" no longer provides `wine` executable (it provides
`wine-unstable`) hence dialog
~~~~
PlayOnLinux cannot find wine (from Wine)
You should install it to use PlayOnLinux
~~~~
still appears and probably needs patching. IMHO the very presence of this
dialog destroys the argument for keeping "wine | wine-unstable" in Depends.
Thanks for consideration.
