After installing Wine on Manjaro, while checking the logs, I discovered the following error messages:

```
004f:err:winediag:schan_imp_init Failed to load libgnutls, secure connections will not be available.
004f:err:winediag:SECUR32_initNTLMSP ntlm_auth was not found or is outdated. Make sure that ntlm_auth >= 3.0.25 is in your path. Usually, you can find it in the winbind package of your distribution.
```

## Solution

The fix is straightforward: install the necessary packages to support secure connections.

```
sudo pacman -S lib32-gnutls gnutls
```

After installing these packages, Wine needs to be restarted for SSL connections to work correctly.
