Dear Maintainer,

lutris keeps putting

| as root, please execute "apt-get install wine32"
into the window it was started from.

Would it make sense to recommend wine32?

Hi Wolfgang,


IMHO not really. Lutris manages wine versions itself, the only real
reason would be dependencies (although Lutris can use system wine if
wished). But its perfectly fine to use Lutris without wine32 if no win32
applications are used.


In any case, for Lutris the policy is to deviate from upstream as little
as possible, including the debian files and thus the recommends. Please
contact upstream if this message bothers you to find a solution.


Best regards

Stephan
