Bugzilla Bug 162294

When I want to emerge app-emulation/vmware-workstation-tools-5.5.3 (also
5.5.1-r2) it stops on unpacking vmware-any-any-update105.tar.gz.
The file "vmware-any-any-update105.tar.gz" is NOT downloaded to
/usr/portage/disfiles or anywhere else on my system.

In latest stable ebuild app-emulation/vmware-workstation-tools-5.5.1 (not in
portage tree anymore) it works!

emerge output:

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

I also see this problem.

I even did a hack to get around this - I suspend the emerge once it has started
and drop in the any-any update tarball into the
/var/tmp/portage/vmwa<yadda>/work directory and then resume.  It builds and
emerges just fine.

However, it appears something is badly broken because you cannot run the
configure tools script whatsoever.

This should be fixed in CVS... wait a couple hours, emerge --sync, then try
again.
