[gentoo-user] trouble emerging vmware-workstation from the vmware overlay

[gentoo-user] trouble emerging vmware-workstation from the vmware overlay

[José Romildo Malaquias]

Hello.

I am having some trouble installing vmware-workstation from the vmware
overlay:


# emerge -avt vmware-workstation

These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order:

Here is the reason of your problem. Try to mask vmware-player

That does not seem to be enough.

Looking at the ebuilds, I have found the following:



# grep vmware-modules /var/lib/layman/vmware/app-emulation/vmware-workstation/vmware-workstation-7.1.1.282343.ebuild
PDEPEND="~app-emulation/vmware-modules-238

# grep -B 2 vmware-workstation /var/lib/layman/vmware/app-emulation/vmware-modules/vmware-modules-238.ebuild
DEPEND="${RDEPEND}
        || ( ~app-emulation/vmware-player-3.1.0.261024
            ~app-emulation/vmware-workstation-7.1.0.261024 )"

# grep -B 2 vmware-workstation /var/lib/layman/vmware/app-emulation/vmware-modules/vmware-modules-238.1.ebuild
DEPEND="${RDEPEND}
        || ( ~app-emulation/vmware-player-3.1.1.282343
            ~app-emulation/vmware-workstation-7.1.1.282343 )"





Therefore it seems that there are errors in the dependencies in the
ebuilds: vmware-workstation-7.1.1.282343 depends on vmware-modules-238,
which depends on vmware-workstation-7.1.0.261024.

Is this a bug? If so, where should it be reported?

It's an OR (||) relationship.  The modules depend on vmware-player OR
vmware-workstation.  And likely vmware-player and vmware-workstation
block each other.  So you need to install one OR the other and make sure
the other one isn't installed.

Yes, that is the way to solve the blocking. But even after masking
vmware-player, I have trouble getting vmware-workstation-7.1.1.282343
installed.

How can mware-workstation-7.1.1.282343 depend on vmware-modules-238, and
vmware-modules-238 depend on vmware-workstation-7.1.0.261024. To me this
is bug.

Probably mware-workstation-7.1.1.282343 should depend on
vmware-modules-238.1 (notice the .1 in the version 238.1), which is also
available in the overlay.

Just type this in ur terminal :

sudo sed -i 's/vmware-modules-238/vmware-modules-238.1/'
/var/lib/layman/vmware/app-emulation/vmware-workstation/vmware-workstation-7.1.1.282343.ebuild

&&

sudo ebuild
/var/lib/layman/vmware/app-emulation/vmware-workstation/vmware-workstation-7.1.1.282343.ebuild

Well, you are using an overlay so.. caveat emptor.
