Bug Description

Binary package hint: wine

Using Wine to run, for example, Firefox and go to http://launchpad.net will fail, whereas going to http://91.189.90.211 will work. Installing the lib32nss-mdns package fixes this.

Wine should depend on this package in the 64 bit version.

I have uploaded a (very) simple fix to hardy-proposed that adds lib32nss-mdns to the depends on amd64. As far as regression potential, I don't see any unless there are problems merely having the lib32nss-mdns package installed.

Interestingly, this error only occurs if the package libnss-mdns is installed. Having neither libnss-mdns nor lib32nss-mdns works; so does having both. Either way, depending on lib32nss-mdns seems like the most elegant solution.

Testing shows the fix working perfectly, both with and without libnss-mdns installed.

I had the same issue (libnss-mdns was installed) and installing lib32nss-mdns fixes it. (This is a yet another confirmation). :)

It's probably safe to consider this tested.
