wine users - May 2012 - Wine 1.4 removes gnome-common & mate-common (link)

Hello all.

Recently upgraded to Mint 13 MATE and have been following this forum
post:http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=102684&p=585069&hilit=wine+mint+13+mate#p585069

Installing wine 1.4 appears to remove mate-common and gnome-common and a few
other packages, playonlinux also removes the same.  I don't know what damage
this does but vincent on the Mint forums thinks he has it traced to this
package: wine1.4-i386:i386.

Apparently installing the wine dependencies separately doesn't cause the
removal.

Just wondering if anyone knows anything more about this issue?

I would expect this to be a mint issue since wine itself does not
provide packages. The distributions create the packaging.

I thought as much, I just wondered if any of you guys had came across the issue.

Hopefully Clem gets it fixed asap!
