--- Begin Message ---Package: playonlinux Version: 4.2.5-1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer, * What led up to the situation? I tried out to install two new programs, one that is listed, one that is not. * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? In both cases the wizard for installing opened. In the case of the not-listed program I chose 32 bit installation. When I chose 64bit the process continued, but led to another bug (not described here). In the case of the listed program (tax software ElsterFormular) PlayOnLinux downloaded Wine 1.6 again (although the very same version is already installed from the official resources). * What was the outcome of this action? In the end I got this error message: "Error in POL_Wine // Wine scheint abgestürzt zu sein // Wenn Ihr Programm weiter läuft, ignorieren Sie diese Nachricht" (english: Wine seems to have crashed. If your program continues, ignore this message.) The message is displayed repeatedly after every step of the installation process. In the end the program is not installed. When I am told only to click on continue after the installation is finished I wait for hours, but nothing happens. Clicking on "continue" means the program is not installed. * What outcome did you expect instead? That everything works fine. ;) -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.0 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.utf8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages playonlinux depends on: ii binutils 2.25-5 ii bzip2 1.0.6-7+b3 ii cabextract 1.4-5 ii curl 7.38.0-4+deb8u1 ii gettext-base 0.19.3-2 ii gnome-terminal [x-terminal-emulator] 3.14.1-1 ii gnupg 1.4.18-7 ii icoutils 0.31.0-2 ii imagemagick 8:6.8.9.9-5 ii mesa-utils 8.2.0-1 ii netcat-traditional [netcat] 1.10-41 ii p7zip-full 9.20.1~dfsg.1-4.1 ii python-wxgtk3.0 3.0.1.1+dfsg-2 pn python:any <none> ii unzip 6.0-16 ii wget 1.16-1 ii wine 1.6.2-20 ii x11-utils 7.7+2 ii xterm [x-terminal-emulator] 312-2 playonlinux recommends no packages.
