After emerging vmware-tools (9.2.3.1031769), if I do a qlist vmware-tools, there are no files listed. I tried running "epm -ql vmware-tools" as well. It seems like this ebuild isn't actually installing any tools, yet it still exits cleanly. Reproducible: Always emerge --info: Portage 2.2.1 (default/linux/amd64/13.0, gcc-4.6.3, glibc-2.15-r3, 3.10.7-gentoo-r1 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: Linux-3.10.7-gentoo-r1-x86_64-Intel-R-_Core-TM-_i7-2760QM_CPU_@_2.40GHz-with-gentoo-2.2 KiB Mem: 8176544 total, 6920352 free KiB Swap: 0 total, 0 free Timestamp of tree: Wed, 16 Oct 2013 13:00:01 +0000 ld GNU ld (GNU Binutils) 2.23.1 app-shells/bash: 4.2_p45 dev-java/java-config: 2.1.12-r1 dev-lang/python: 2.7.5-r2, 3.2.5-r2 dev-util/cmake: 2.8.10.2-r2 dev-util/pkgconfig: 0.28 sys-apps/baselayout: 2.2 sys-apps/openrc: 0.11.8 sys-apps/sandbox: 2.6-r1 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.69 sys-devel/automake: 1.10.3, 1.11.1, 1.12.6, 1.13.4 sys-devel/binutils: 2.23.1 sys-devel/gcc: 4.5.4, 4.6.3, 4.7.3-r1 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.7.3 sys-devel/libtool: 2.4.2 sys-devel/make: 3.82-r4 sys-kernel/linux-headers: 3.9 (virtual/os-headers) sys-libs/glibc: 2.15-r3 Repositories: gentoo penguindreams-org ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64" ACCEPT_LICENSE="* -@EULA" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O3 -pipe -march=nocona" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/share/gnupg/qualified.txt /var/lib/hsqldb" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/dconf /etc/env.d /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/gentoo-release /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/sandbox.d /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/language.dat.d /etc/texmf/language.def.d /etc/texmf/updmap.d /etc/texmf/web2c" CXXFLAGS="-O3 -pipe -march=nocona" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FCFLAGS="-O2 -pipe" FEATURES="assume-digests binpkg-logs config-protect-if-modified distlocks ebuild-locks fixlafiles merge-sync news parallel-fetch preserve-libs protect-owned sandbox sfperms strict unknown-features-warn unmerge-logs unmerge-orphans userfetch userpriv usersandbox usersync" FFLAGS="-O2 -pipe" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed" MAKEOPTS="-j5" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT="/" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --omit-dir-times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --human-readable --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" USE="X a52 aac aalib acl acpi aim alsa amd64 audiofile avahi berkdb bluetooth browserplugin bzip2 cairo cdinstall cdparanoia cdr cleartype cli corefonts cracklib crypt cups cxx dbus dri dts dvd dvdr dvdread emacs emul-linux-x86 exif fam ffmpeg firefox flac fortran ftp gdbm gif gnome gpm gstreamer gtk2 gtkhtml gudev hal hwdb iconv ipv6 java jpeg ldap libcaca log4j mad matroska mmx modules mono mp3 mp4 mpd mpeg msn mudflap multilib mysql ncurses nls nptl nptlonly nsplugin offensive ogg oggvorbis opengl openmp pam pcre pdf png pulseaudio quicktime readline real rtc samba sdl seamonkey session spell sse sse2 ssl svg tcpd theora tiff tracker truetype type1 unicode usb vcd vorbis win32codecs wmf xinerama xmms xscreensaver xvid yahoo zlib" ABI_X86="64" ALSA_CARDS="ali5451 als4000 atiixp atiixp-modem bt87x ca0106 cmipci emu10k1x ens1370 ens1371 es1938 es1968 fm801 hda-intel intel8x0 intel8x0m maestro3 trident usb-audio via82xx via82xx-modem ymfpci" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic auth_digest authn_anon authn_dbd authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache dav dav_fs dav_lock dbd deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers ident imagemap include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation proxy proxy_ajp proxy_balancer proxy_connect proxy_http rewrite setenvif so speling status unique_id userdir uusertrack vhost_alias" CALLIGRA_FEATURES="kexi words flow plan sheets stage tables krita karbon braindump author" CAMERAS="ptp2" COLLECTD_PLUGINS="df interface irq load memory rrdtool swap syslog" ELIBC="glibc" GPSD_PROTOCOLS="ashtech aivdm earthmate evermore fv18 garmin garmintxt gpsclock itrax mtk3301 nmea ntrip navcom oceanserver oldstyle oncore rtcm104v2 rtcm104v3 sirf superstar2 timing tsip tripmate tnt ubx" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse evdev" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LIBREOFFICE_EXTENSIONS="presenter-console presenter-minimizer" LINGUAS="en" OFFICE_IMPLEMENTATION="libreoffice" PHP_TARGETS="php5-5" PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET="python2_7" PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7 python3_2" RUBY_TARGETS="ruby19 ruby18" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="dummy fbdev glint intel vesa vmware" XTABLES_ADDONS="quota2 psd pknock lscan length2 ipv4options ipset ipp2p iface geoip fuzzy condition tee tarpit sysrq steal rawnat logmark ipmark dhcpmac delude chaos account" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LC_ALL, PORTAGE_BUNZIP2_COMMAND, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS, SYNC, USE_PYTHON
Created attachment 361050 [details] Output from emerge vmware-tools
This happens when VMWARE_GUEST is not set in make.conf. Possible values for that are: freebsd linux netware solaris windows winPre2k Assigning this anyway because the maintainer might want to add REQUIRED_USE="|| ( ${IUSE_VMWARE_GUEST} )" to the ebuild.
(Err, since that is USE_EXPAND, the REQUIRED_USE needs to be the expanded form.)
Added a warning message in vmware-tools-9.9.3.2780323 (in overlay, goes to main tree soon)
