No, it's how it's supposed to work. Portage removed one version of
wine
because the virtual was still satisfied. It wouldn't remove the last
remaining
version: you need to uninstall the virtual first.
Sorry, but I did NOT actually remove 8.0.2, I was only checking what it
WOULD remove. With both installed, portage is OK to remove both or the
older one, but not the newer one.
