Wine 1.4 removes gnome-common & mate-common (link)

Hello all.

Recently upgraded to Mint 13 MATE and have been following this forum post:http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.p ... te#p585069

Installing wine 1.4 appears to remove mate-common and gnome-common and a few other packages, playonlinux also removes the same. I don't know what damage this does but vincent on the Mint forums thinks he has it traced to this package: wine1.4-i386:i386.

Apparently installing the wine dependencies separately doesn't cause the removal.

Just wondering if anyone knows anything more about this issue?

I would expect this to be a mint issue since wine itself does not
provide packages. The distributions create the packaging.

I thought as much, I just wondered if any of you guys had came across the issue.

Hopefully Clem gets it fixed asap!
