Summary: Most applications in Wine unable to access the network
           Product: Wine
           Version: 0.9.39.
          Platform: PC-x86-64
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: test
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

I'm opening this bug just to make sure people are aware. At the moment it may be
an issue with Debian packages (as it only seems to happen in Debian Sid at the
moment) but on the other hand (and more worryingly) it could be an
incompatibility with a newer library that Sid uses that Wine doesn't work
correctly with.

Basically most applications in Wine (STEAM, Firefox, game auto-updates, etc) are
unable to access the network claiming the address(s) cannot be found. Using an
earlier version of Wine doesn't have any effect, still the same issues.

Setting the component to "test" until we figure out what is actually broken.

Link to the bug in the Debian system is :

Hopefully this is just a bug in one of the Debian packages and not an issue with
Wine and a newer version of a specific library (or libraries).
