https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39884 Bug ID: 39884 Summary: .exe files no longer run directly when using the new wine-builds PPA packages (linux binfmts not installed) Product: Packaging Version: unspecified Hardware: x86 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: wine-packages Assignee: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org Reporter: winehq(a)ixio.org CC: michael(a)fds-team.de, sebastian(a)fds-team.de Distribution: --- For years, and until very recently, winehq.org recommended packages from the ubuntu-wine PPA for Ubuntu users. Those packages install linux binfmts support, which allows .exe files to be run directly instead of having to run "wine programname.exe". This is not merely a convenience; it is also helpful for security because it allows each Windows program to be run with different AppArmor profile. After switching to the packages from the new official wine-builds PPA, this functionality is gone. Please bring it back! -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.
