Mike Auty noticed that stat's only called once during the installer phase, in the line: FILE_SIZE=`stat --format "%s" "$0"` I run this command and got the following error: olimpico_mobile portage # stat --format "%s" /usr/portage/distfiles/VMware-Workstation-6.5.1-126130.x86_64.bundle stat: invalid option -- - Usage: stat [-l] [-f] [-s] [-v] [-h] [-t] [-c format] file1 [file2 ...] olimpico_mobile portage # It seems that right command should be: olimpico_mobile portage # stat -c "%s" /usr/portage/distfiles/VMware-Workstation-6.5.1-126130.x86_64.bundle 361697489 olimpico_mobile portage # I found strange thing: olimpico_mobile portage # which stat /usr/bin/stat olimpico_mobile portage # equery b /usr/bin/stat [ Searching for file(s) /usr/bin/stat in *... ] !!! Parse error in '/var/db/pkg/sys-kernel/livecd-kernel-1/CONTENTS' !!! line 1: Unrecognized CONTENTS entry sys-apps/stat-3.3 (/usr/bin/stat) sys-apps/coreutils-6.10-r2 (/usr/bin/stat) olimpico_mobile portage # stat belongs to both sys-apps/stat and sys-apps/coreutils. Is it OK?
I unemerged sys-apps/stat and reemerged coreutils. Now proper version of stat is used and vmware-workstation is installed without any errors.
Reopening to reassign to ikelos.
Yep, vmware requires a GNU stat, I don't think I'll add a specific block against stat since it seems a bit of a rare problem (although I'm surprise stat and coreutils can co-exist). So I'll mark this as LATER for now, and if anyone else runs into the problem, I'll reopen it and add specific blocks against stat (only in the DEPEND not the RDEPEND). On a side note Dmitry, I couldn't see this because it was assigned to devrel@g.o, rather than bug-wranglers@g.o or vmware@g.o. Anyway, glad you got it all solved... 5:)
