I have always used Alien Bob's wine package without issue. But on a fresh -current install today I noticed when I launched winecfg It was complaining about not finding wine-mono. I know Eric provides wine-mono in his package. I looked into it and for whatever reason wine-5.22 is wanting mono to be in /usr/share/wine/mono/<version>.msi. Eric's build is putting it in /usr/share/wine/mono/wine-mono-<version>/<version>.msi, which according to wine's own wiki is the correct location. So I am not sure if this is something on my end or if wine changed the preferred location of the wine-mono package and didn't update their wiki. If anyone can confirm this let me know. It's no big deal since I tweaked his SlackBuild to change the location and its fixed here locally. I am just curious if I am the only one who had this issue?

I had the same problem. Wine wiki is not always up to date.

I followed the iformation on search locations as documented in the Wine wiki... but if they are wrong and Wine actually is looking in the old location still (I changed this directory only now in the most recent package) I can revert that change in the package.

Yeah you are doing exactly what the wiki says, but on my machine it still wants it to be in that old location. And it looks like M0M0 can confirm, maybe some others on here can also confirm.

I do confirm that after upgrading to wine 5.22, winecfg is looking for mono msi file in /usr/share/mono and not /usr/share/mono/mono-wine-<version>. When I first ran winecfg after upgrade, it asked me to install mono. I cancelled mono installation and copied mono msi file in /usr/share/mono and then winecfg started without any message about missing mono.
Hope this helps.
