iexplorer under wine is missing wine-gecko

I'm not quite sure when it happened but a package for wine-gecko is no longer installed (I'm at Ubuntu 20.10).

This means that the Wine Internet Explorer, which uses a Gecko engine, will no longer work.

There is no error displayed on the app, but if you run it from a console the will be error messages displayed that mention the fact that Gecko is missing.

How can I resolve this issue?

I am using Ubuntu 20.10 also and I was getting the message:

winediag:SECUR32_initNTLMSP ntlm_auth was not found or is outdated. Make sure that ntlm_auth >= 3.0.25 is in your path...

I tried the solution of Gustavo Carreno by downloading, extracting and copying the 32 bit package and also removing it and trying with the 64 bit package, but I was still getting the same message.

After some trials I found the solution for my case which is given in the following steps:

I downloaded the latest 64 bit of Gecko from https://wiki.winehq.org/Gecko :

  $ wget http://dl.winehq.org/wine/wine-gecko/2.47.1/wine-gecko-2.47.1-x86_64.msi

Ran the following:

  $ wine msiexec /i wine-gecko-2.47.1-x86_64.msi

The installation added the following directory underneath my home directory:

  $ ls -l /home/_myuser_/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32/gecko/2.47.1/

  wine_gecko

Now, Internet Explorer (when run using the wine64 iexplore.exe command) displays the web pages correctly.
