Description:

The lib32-nss-mdns package is missing from the multilib repository.

Wine needs it to run many 32-bit Windows applications that access the network. So its absence from the multilib repository makes it harder to get these Windows applications to run correctly.

A lib32-nss-mdns package is present in an AUR repository (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/lib32-nss-mdns/) but this creates unnecessary friction and adding it from such a source is hard to automate.


Additional info:
* This is true as of 0.14.1-3.
* Manjaro has added it to their multilib repository.
This task depends upon
