Comment 40 for bug 994309

I had the problem reported in comment #12.

As suggested in comment #14 I did :

sudo apt-get install wine --no-install-recommends

That avoided the problem about gettext and installation worked.

Then at run time wine complained that wine-gecko was absent.

Asking aptitude to install all packages recommended by wine-gecko did not show that dependency problem.

Wine could run and find wine-gecko too.

This is on Ubuntu precise AMD64, fully up to date and installed from scratch (not from upgrade).

This will probably hit other users.
