Comment 1 Manfred Knick 2019-02-15 19:32:34 UTC 
Very unfortunately,

. . . [vmware-overlay]

had to be been closed down
and was removed from overlays/repositories.xml:

. . . Bug 627666 - vmware: no reply to project status mail

. . . [ https://bugs.gentoo.org/627666#c8 ]


Currently up-to-date and perfectly working versions of vmware-workstation:
c.f.
  - Bug 663670     and
  - Bug 671218


HINT concerning vmware-player:
  - just install above;
  - vmware-player will be included :-)
