Walter, 
You have confused me. First you indicate that multilib is
needed for WINE. Then you indicate that you had to use the
32 bit mixed mode (no multilib).... under  qemu-kvm, and 
and then install WINE under the 32 bit qemu.

So if you were installing a system, just to run wine, would it
be multilib or hybrid (64 and 32 bit) ?
