As @AlexBoldt suggests, the difficulty you are experiencing is most likely attributable to the recent changes in WINE.

This was mentioned in the 2025-08-30 Update Announcement - Breaking changes to wine and wine-staging under the Known Issues and Solutions section.

It’s recommended to always check these announcements for breaking information about updates that might affect you.

@Transition to the new WoW64 wine and wine-staging

2025-06-16 - Peter Jung

We are transitioning the wine and wine-staging package to a pure wow64 build. This change removes the dependency on the multilib repository for wine and wine-staging.

The main reason for this is to align with upstream Wine development, which simplifies packaging and the dependency chain.

@Potential Issues

• OpenGL Performance: A known limitation of the new WoW64 mode is reduced performance for 32-bit applications that use OpenGL directly
• Breaking Changes: Existing 32-bit prefixes needs to be recreated

If you are facing issues with 32 bit prefixes, please recreate these and reinstall the application.
