Sooooooooo tacky to self-reply, but I persist .... It looks to me like 
this port is locked-up *fried* .... it depends on another f10 package 
which is apparently broken, & probably won't be fixed, since f10 support 
ended about 6 years ago .... Am I reading this correctly ? If so, are 
there any plans to try to work around this issue w/ this port ? I have a 
newer curl installed, many versions later than the F10 version, why 
can't the port use my newer installed version ? FF & Opera both need 
this plugin to render flash correctly (& yes, I acknowledge that flash 
*sux*), I sure wish this would get fixed :-) ....
