            Bug ID: 42297
           Summary: Gecko does not install itself in 2.0rc6
           Product: Wine-gecko
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: wine-gecko-unknown
          Assignee: jacek at codeweavers.com
          Reporter: proveit at tutamail.com
      Distribution: ---

I'm using the latest version of Wine in the development branch (2.0rc6). This
bug occurs on Linux Mint Mate 32-bit. The bug is simple. In the past, when
running any program in a development branch version of Wine, Wine always
prompted me to install gecko and mono when I first run a program.

The prompting is expected behavior: "WineHQ does not at present package
wine-gecko or wine-mono. When creating a new wine prefix, you will be asked if
you want to download those components. For best compatibility, it is
recommended to click Yes here." (Source: https://wiki.winehq.org/Ubuntu)

The instructions from the Gecko wiki page (https://wiki.winehq.org/Gecko) to
manually install Gecko also does not work. The page says to download the .msi
file manually (wine_gecko-2.47-x86.msi in my case) and copy it to
/usr/share/wine/gecko. Not only does the directory wine not exist in /usr/share
in a standard installation of the development branch from PPA (sudo apt-get
install --install-recommends winehq-devel), but even when I create the
wine/gecko directory under /usr/share, copying the .msi file there seems to do
nothing when I run a program in a clean wine prefix.

In other words, gecko can't be installed at all in the latest version of Wine
development branch. The automatic install fails, and so does the manual
install.
