First of all, I would expect all of you to watch the port's trend and
upgrade to the latest version if you have a problem. (That applies not
only VMware2 port but any other ports)

Yes, directories do not show all that actually exist under Linux

I think the latest port doesn't cause this problem. I supplied a
reason why it happened recently in the -ports and -question lists and
then fixed the port. Check it out.
