everytime i need to upgrade my fedora 19 box(es) i have to uninstall wine, fight with glibc and libdvdcss2 as wine installs some bloody package that is i686 that conflicts with the other packages.

this is very annoying and im about to tell wine to jump in a lake and never come back on my systems, sadly I cant do that for my wifes system. she is a teacher and sadly many of the programs she uses only runs in the MS world. I refuse to maintain a MS laptop for her so she runs Fedora 19 as well.

does anyone know anyways around getting wine 64bit from installing any/all of its horrid 32bit conflicting packages?

Wine needs the 32bit libraries to run 32bit Windows software. (which is about 95% of all Windows software as far as I know)
It is possible to build a 64bit only version of Wine, but you'll probably have to compile it yourself and it won't be able to run 32bit software.

Wine is not a simuator: it implements an API. 64-bit software requires 64-bit libraries; there is no "thunking."

thanks guys.
