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? Romildo
