[Bug 19873] New: Automated installation of gecko requires DOS path to root filesystem

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19873

Summary: Automated installation of gecko requires DOS path to
                    root filesystem
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.28
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

Running wine (after an upgrade) produces the message:

err:mshtml:install_from_unix_file Could not get dos file name of
"/usr/bin/../lib/../share/wine/gecko/wine_gecko-1.0.0-x86.cab"
Could not load wine-gecko. HTML rendering will be disabled.

I normally delete the Z: path (which points to /) from my wine configuration in
an attempt to weakly jail the windows applications; from the error message the
internal upgrade of wine_gecko appears to require this path to be present.

This seems to be a bug.
