Bug ID: 54349
           Summary: 'wine-mono' package doesn't re-ask for installation if
                    you click cancel and subsequent run a .NET program (by
                    contrast, the Gecko package does)
           Product: Wine
           Version: 8.0-rc4
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
          Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org

Created attachment 73920

video demonstration of the full process for reproducing the issue
(tested with wine v8.0-rc4 since v8.0-rc5 isn't yet available in Mint's package
manager)
Simply put, when the message appears asking to install the 'wine-mono' package,
if you click cancel and then subsequently try to run a program that requires
.NET, it will not ask about installing the 'wine-mono' package again.
By contrast, if you try to run a program that requires the Gecko package, it
will always ask if you want to install the Gecko package even if you click
cancel - it will still ask again the next time you run the program.
See the attached video file on fully reproducing the issue; it was tested using
the Mint 21.1 Cinnamon live ISO.
