Bug#474289: Wine can't access network if libnss-mdns is installed on amd64

Package: wine
Version: 1.4.1-2
Followup-For: Bug #474289

Dear Maintainer,

maybe now it's not a real bug (as for me, 'wine iexplore' can succesfully
browse WWW pages, e.g. http://www.winehq.org/),
but Wine still displays an annoying "Wine Warning" every time it starts:

It appears that libnss-mdns is installed on your system,
but lib32nss-mdns is not. Please note that Wine will not be
able to access the Internet unless you either install
lib32nss-mdns (or ia32-libnss-mdns), or uninstall libnss-mdns.

This message is somewhat confusing:
1) as for now, ia32-libnss-mdns doesn't doesn't exist in Debian archives;
2) lib32nss-mdns is an existing package, but seems to be not a very good
choice, according to the current Debian multiarch approach (it should recommend
libnss-mdns:i386); BTW, it seems that libnss-mdns haven't been converted to
multiarch yet.



Debian Release: wheezy/sid
APT prefers testing
APT policy: (500, 'testing')
Architecture: amd64 (x86_64)
Foreign Architectures: i386

Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores)
Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8)
Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash

Versions of packages wine depends on:
ii wine-bin 1.4.1-2

wine recommends no packages.

wine suggests no packages.

Hilko already prepared a patch for that:
