Created attachment 131921 [details] The contents of the message from trying to patch the ebuild. This is the /var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/vmware-modules-1.0.0.15-r1/temp/010_all_makefile-vm-build-no-unused-warnings.patch-9820.out file that I was asked to submit with the bug report.
Hi Mhb3, It appears that your portage sync is not correctly deleting old files. As you can see from the following URL: http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/gentoo-x86/app-emulation/vmware-modules/files/patches/?hideattic=0 The particular patch you mentioned is marked as dead (meaning it's been removed from the repository) and it shows that it was removed 4 months ago. Please double check in emerge --info that your PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS contains at least "--delete"? The reason this patch was deleted was because the patch was rolled into vmware-any-any-update109. We're now on vmware-any-any-update113. The odd thing is that there's pretty much no way you should have been able to emerge an ebuild that used both that old patch and the new vmware-any-any sources, because you should have had a digest error of either the patch being extra or the sources being missing? Did you run emerge with --digest when you tried to install this? So, after all that, please post your emerge --info. Check your rsync options, ensure you're not using a vmware overlay and then emerge --sync. After that the modules should build without a problem. Please let us know how you get on and what you find out, thanks... 5:)
