 This is, in fact, a false statement.  I performed the action of
 
 portupgrade -f gstreamer\*
 
 at least THREE times before submitting a bug report.  Joe, apparantly, 
 did not care to pay attention to what I wrote.
 
 I could not determine any emthod of solving the problem since no clues 
 existed anywhere on my system that I could find.  No trace of anything 
 missing or not properly installed realted to gstreamer.  No clue where 
 to find this mysterious "playbin" program without individually looking 
 at every single uninstalled port on the system and searching for the file.
 
 The only thing that I could determine on my own was that totem kept not 
 building.
 
 The completely unhelpful message from marcus simply told me to do what I 
 had already done over, and over, and over and did not answer the 
 specific question that I asked:  Where the heck is "playbin" and why 
 don't I have it?
