Before I go looking deeper into this...

Back when SL6 was first released, and I believe through 6.1 a simple 
"yum install wine" (mostly) did the install trick. Some things were 
missing if you needed more in-depth font or language support, but 
nothing was generally broken on 64-bit/multiarch wine.

I noticed some interesting dependencies with wine.x86_64 that pull in 
multiarch binaries -- which is normal, I think -- but break wine now.

Something feels to be either redundant (and calling the wrong arch lib 
or executable) or missing a security permission somewhere. Installing 
just 32-bit binaries works fine. Installing the wine.x86_64 set breaks 
thing in interesting ways -- as in, its not totally dead, just mostly dead.

Has anyone else seen this behavior? My Wine-fu is too weak to diagnose 
this and I don't want to spend time digging if its not a worthwhile problem.
