Thanks! Yep running in plain xterm remedies the emerge process. Hiya Peteru, As Heiko pointed out, this is most likely caused by attempting to install vmware in an unusual terminal such as screen. I've now improved the check that was in the ebuild to die if it detects it's being run in screen, it also now should die if a rollback occurs and thus allow you to post the installer log (rather than installing just a few base files). Please wait a couple of hours for the ebuilds to get pushed out, then do an emerge --sync and try again. If you're still encountering failures, please re-post the error messages and I might ask you to include the vmware-installer.log file too. Thanks... 5:) The terminal in use (Konsole) does not make a difference and I am not using screen. The issue seems to be caused by using the parallel build feature of portage. This seems to make sense, since parallel builds do not have an interactive terminal. For what it's worth, having ebuilds that require user intervention is a "Bad Idea"(tm) Any chance that the EULA step can be skipped / auto-answered? The combination of fetch restriction and the requirement to agree to the EULA as part of the download process already covers the EULA acceptance by the user. Peteru, if the merge had stopped on a EULA question, the installation wouldn't have completed (and you wouldn't have a small number of files present). That means something was going wrong. It's possible that portage's parallel build system effectively runs the install in a non-terminal and which therefore fails for the same reasons as screen. You seem very sure it's a parallel build problem, but haven't mentioned the results you got when you turned parallel build off? Did that work? Also, as requested in comment 4, could you please re-sync with the main tree, and try another install (using parallel build) and see if it gives the same error, and if not, whether you can collect the vmware-installer.log from /var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/vmware-workstation/work/. Thanks... I had the same problem with the EULA in Eterm. I switched to another VC (Ctrl-Alt-F1) and emerged vmware-workstation. It prompted me for the EULA and then installed fine. Ryan > You seem very sure it's a parallel build problem, but haven't mentioned the results you got when you turned parallel build off? Did that work? Yes, I am sure it is a parallel build problem. I have confirmed this by trying with parallel build ON -> incomplete install and with parallel build OFF -> good install. My apologies if that was not clear in the original report and the original title of the bug (before it was changed to something else). I will resync tree and retry, but you can also try this yourself by using: emerge --jobs 3 app-emulation/vmware-workstation Just for completeness, here is some more information from my system: #

worked fine in naked Eterm. Hiya peteru, sorry, it wasn't clear, and we often get people coming up with their own ideas of what's wrong and then sticking to them without actually running tests that would decide if they were right or not. I'm still surprised that parallel builds are able to bypass interactive steps (you really should have to type yes to finish the ebuild), but I'll look into it later today when I have time. As to removing the EULA step, I'm afraid I can't answer yes for people since otherwise either Gentoo or myself would be liable if they broke it. There are a few other ebuilds that are interactive (including those installed from CD), so it's not completely new. I'll take a look and see if there's some way of indicating that it's interactive and needs special treatment...

See bug 233296 for more info and feel free to ping me in irc if you would like. (and the end user has to use portage-2.2_rc13) Ok, this should now have been fixed in the main tree. Please feel free to reopen this if there are still problems... 5:) |
