I've been reading the wine64 wiki. I've also seen some of myself &
other's questions in this general direction (not wine specifically,

I just finished a successful of portupgrade -a, so everything's

My versions:

I just got a clean portupgrade -a, so I hope my problem is not a
version issue, because I don't have any newer versions to install. I
