It turns out Wine has a workaround which allows it to not trigger this 
bug: https://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2020-May/166969.html

(but once the registry file is broken, Wine is impacted too)

Excellent. I have updated the script to add support for adding OBS 
repositories. It now uses the Emulators:Wine, windows:mingw:win32, 
windows:mingw:win64 and home:dimesio OBS 'projects' to provide FAudio, 
MinGW win32, MinGW win64 and vkd3d respectively.

I hope this can make it easy for openSUSE developers to get their system 
set up to work on Wine.

There is no need for Emulators:Wine here since this is all in the main 
repository anyway. It's just that fontconfig-devel-32bit should depend 
on fontconfig-devel but does not. vkd3d-devel-32bit has the same problem 
by the way: it should depend on libvkd3d1-32bit but does not (hint).

Wine's configure does not complain about libnetapi since it's a 
relatively minor dependency. As for Mesa-libGL-devel-32bit I suspect you 
have Mesa-libGL1-32bit installed and your page documents creating the 
needed libGL.so symlink so that's why Wine does not complain about it.

I'm not sure it's no longer needed. I believe it's more of a case where 
it's only needed for a few applications so one can get by without it. 
But maybe I'm wrong.
