By default, Bugzilla does not search the list of RESOLVED bugs.
You can force it to do so by putting the upper-case word ALL in front of your search query, e.g.: ALL tdelibs
We recommend searching for bugs this way, as you may discover that your bug has already been resolved and fixed in a later release.

Description Kristopher 2015-02-16 15:01:28 CST
When I go to Control Center -> System Administration -> Windows Applications, I get the following message:

======================================================
Windows Applications - Trinity Control Center
------------------------------------------------------
It appears that you do not have Wine installed. Wine
can be used to run some programs designed for
Windows. Would you like to install it?

You will need administrative privileges, and the
community-maintained (universe) repository will be
enabled.
=======================================================

I have seen this on both Debian (Squeeze & Wheezy) and CentOS 7. Both distros include WINE in their main software repositories. In addition, I've never seen a community-maintained repository in Debian (unless 3rd-party repos not hosted by Debian count, and these have different names not related to the universe), and CentOS calls their community-maintained repository "contrib" (*not* universe).

I have tested this with *all* available WINE packages installed in both CentOS and Debian, and the dialog still comes up. Clicking the "Yes" button does not prompt for my root password (nor my user password for sudo) despite the dialog saying it needs "administrative privileges", and regardless of whether I choose "Yes" or "No", it gives the following error (in Control Center itself, in the area to the right where the controls should appear):

============================================================
It appears you do not have wine installed.
wine can be used to run some programs designed for Windows.
Please install the wine package to get this functionality.
