Hello,
I am trying to install wine-mono 4.8.3 on a Debian 8 based system. When upgrading wine-devel to the latest 4.7, I was prompted to install the latest wine-mono package but after rather a long while I noticed the system had slowed down considerably. Finally, it became completely unresponsive and the installer got stuck.
Later, I tried again to manually install wine-mono 4.8.3 and started the msi installer but soon noticed the memory and swap was rapidly used up until the system got stuck and the installation failed again.
I had no problem with wine-devel 4.6 and wine-mono 4.8.1 before upgrading to wine-devel 4.7 and wine-mono 4.8.3 and actually still have no problem with wine-devel 4.7, though apparently the installation of wine-mono 4.8.3 failed. I would appreciate it if you could help me with this.
Best regards.

Re: wine-mono 4.8.3 fails to be installed
I can confirm that something seems to be screwed, at least when updating an existing wineprefix. Creating a new one seems to be ok though.
This is the console output I get:

Re: wine-mono 4.8.3 fails to be installed
Thanks, spoon0042.
Now I remember I got a similar output when starting the msi installer from the terminal. And then I wonder what would be the next step to get it fixed?

Re: wine-mono 4.8.3 fails to be installed
The most helpful thing to do would be to figure out reproducible steps to trigger the problem. I attempted to do this by creating a wineprefix using 4.6 then reinstalling 4.7 but that didn't trigger the issue and I haven't tried anything further. Even if you can't it may be worth filing a bug report to get the attention of someone who can better help with it.
Re: wine-mono 4.8.3 fails to be installed
I did a bit more poking around and went ahead and filed a bug report: https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47141
Re: wine-mono 4.8.3 fails to be installed
Thanks again, spoon0042.
Since you have kindly taken the trouble of filing a bug report and I have no more detailed information about the problem, I will wait and see what will come out of it.

Re: wine-mono 4.8.3 fails to be installed
When upgrading wine-devel 4.7 to 4.8, I had the same problem again, though this time I was not prompted to install wine-mono. I had removed the cached wine-mono installers in ~/.cache/wine and elsewhere but forgot to remove the contents of Temporary Internet Files. So I guess wine detected another cached installer there and automatically started installation when updating the existing wineprefix.
Since the installation failed again and I could think of nothing else to fix the problem, I followed what spoon0042 had already suggested. Having created a new wineprefix and starting a new wine process, I was prompted to download and install the new wine-mono package and it was successfully installed.
Though I could not make sure whether something is wrong with wine or with wine-mono, everything goes well with the new wineprefix so far. I am currently on a Debian 8 amd64 based system but incidentally noticed there was no similar problem with another Ubuntu 16 i386 based system. The latter system had wine 4.7 and wine-mono 4.8.3 installed successfully on the wineprefix which was more than several months old. I wonder whether it has something to do with the difference of architectures (i386 and amd64) or simply there is something wrong with the wineprefix.
