(your proxy maintainer mail is not registered in bugzilla) Can you check the same for app-emulation/vmware-workstation ? (In reply to comment #0) > Looking to: > http://www.mail-archive.com/pld-cvs-commit@lists.pld-linux.org/msg204246.html They added libsexy dependency, did not they? > Looks like we could drop that dependency when removing libsexy and libsexymm, > can you verify? > > Thanks ./lib/vmware/lib/libvmplayer.so/libvmplayer.so' libsexymm.so.2 => /usr/lib64/libsexymm.so.2 (0x00007f2fa5cb5000) libsexy.so.2 => /usr/lib64/libsexy.so.2 (0x00007f2fa5aa2000) ./lib/vmware/lib/libvmware.so/libvmware.so' libsexymm.so.2 => /usr/lib64/libsexymm.so.2 (0x00007fdc4d5f6000) libsexy.so.2 => /usr/lib64/libsexy.so.2 (0x00007fdc4d3e2000) I'd say no, we can not drop that dependency. They added they but also this is noted in log: +Revision 1.48 2009/12/13 16:20:08 glen +- libsexy is loaded if libsexymm is found too Then, maybe it's not required if cannot find any of them... The dependency is gone for current version vmware-workstation-9 and vmware-player-5, but still needed for earlier major versions. At least for workstation it would make sense to keep the old versions around, for whoever does only have a ws-[78] license... (In reply to Andreas K.
