Bug ID: 57172 Summary: Installing winehq-stable 9.0 in Ubuntu 24.04 LTS does not offer to install Mono or Gecko Product: Packaging Version: unspecified Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: major Priority: P2 Component: wine-packages Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: david.l.bridges@gmail.com CC: dimesio@earthlink.net Distribution: ---
When installing winehq-stable in Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, neither Wine Mono nor Wine Gecko are offered (as they should be according to https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/wikis/Wine-Mono and https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/wikis/Wine-Mono. Installation of winehq-stable completes without error, but executing $ wine uninstaller shows that Wine Mono is not present, and executing $ wine iexplore fails for lack of Wine Gecko.
Both winehq-devel and winehq-staging offer Mono and Gecko, and those are installed and functional.
The winehq-stable installation has been a problem for a few days, at least.
I rated Severity as Major on the grounds that the absence of Mono and Gecko will cause many Windows apps to fail if installed with Wine Stable. In addition, the problem affects all Ubuntu flavors and other distros based on Ubuntu 24.04.
Many thanks for your attention to this issue.
