yes, wine and wine-devel are i386 only (the portfile has a comment with a link to http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2014-February/103074.html) > The very strange thing is that it was a different set from on my prior > machine (the original source for myports.txt) and on the new machine (where > things were working, but there were a whole bunch of universal ports, that I > didn’t expect were necessary).

The dependency engine in MacPorts doesn't really handle variants, so I always expect everything that does magic with variants to have problems like this (the difference in +universal ports probably just depends on the order that things were installed, when they're being pulled in as a dependency of something that is +universal, they get +universal when they might not get it if they were installed already). > So, it seems that the order is critical to install certain ports, both in > terms of which dependencies end up being +universal, and if the build can > succeed at all! if it doesn't build, it's a bug that we'll want to fix. > And, now I don’t know how to get wine, or wine-devel to install. Any ideas? we would need to see your failing build log to help. -- Daniel J. Luke
