Bug #: 34604
           Summary: Cannot get Wine-Mono to work under 1.5.5 on a
                    Debian-based system
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.5.5
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]
    Classification: Unclassified

Although my system is strongly debian-based, I currently cannot use the
versions provided on Sid, Wheezy & friends: one of them is too old (1.4.x) and
one of them requires libc 2.17 which would mean a _full_ system upgrade. So no.

Since there is nothing in the 1.5.5|6 range on the Debian package world, I have
to resort to wine-mono0.0.8_0.0.8-0ubuntu1~ppa1_all.deb.

It works, except for wine-mono.

Tried to copy wine-mono-0.0.8.msi to /usr/share/wine/mono exactly as described
in the wiki.
But with the .NET 2.0 application I'm trying I always get this:

wine: Install Mono for Windows to run .NET 2.0 applications.

Is 1.5.5 not yet able to recognize the .msi in /usr/share/wine/mono ? 
Unfortunately there is no way to trace what wine is trying to do except for the
fairly cryptic winedbg.
