In spite of having fetched VMware-workstation-5.5.6-80404.tar.gz into /usr/portage/distfiles and having a SHA1 sum that matches the ebuild file, emerge is refusing to acknowledge it's presence or indicate the actual problem that a normal user can fathom. There is no information in the ebuild that indicates where it's expecting the fetched file to live (which in the past has always been /usr/portage/distfiles).

Hi J.C. My guess is that you have the vmware-workstation package in the correct location, but that you don't also have vmware-any-any-update115 in the portage distfiles directory as well. This looks very much like bug 183221, except for workstation 5.5.6. Please let me know if that solves you problems, if so I'll add the necessary line in the SRC_URI. Thanks... 5:)
Downloading http://knihovny.cvut.cz/ftp/pub/vmware/vmware-any-any-update115.tar.gz into /usr/portage/distfiles and re-running the emerge did indeed fix the problem. Thanks!
I am curious, though. I had -d turned on for the emerge, so why didn't I see it test for the existence of the vmware-any-any-update115.tar.gz file? Had I seen this, I probably could have figured it out myself.
Did you have parallel fetching enabled? Perhaps, since the fetching happens in a different thread there, you won't get the debugging output from the fetch stage? That's about all I can think of?
As far as I know, I do not. What should I check for?
FEATURES="parallel-fetch" enables it, an emerge --info should tell you fairly quickly (also when you emerge things generally, the first thing you'll see is "Starting fetch thread" or something similar, before the first package merges (generally needs more than one package to show that though)...

er, I mean, rather it looks like it is.
It appears softpedia no longer has this version of vmware workstation http://download.softpedia.ro/linux/VMware-workstation-5.5.6-80404.tar.gz Version 6 is masked. Should we bump?
Skelter, this[1] page shows that 5.5.6 is still the latest version of workstation in the 5 series. Just because softpedia doesn't have it available for download doesn't mean we can bump it. If you're asking for 6 to be stabilized, then please file a stabilization bug. Finally, I'm going to close this bug because I think we're now using the mirror:// address to fetch the any-any files, so this should no longer be a problem. If it is, please feel free to reopen the bug. Thanks... 5:) [1] https://www.vmware.com/download/ws/ws5.html

The 5.5.6 download is no longer available from the vmware site. I had to go back to 5.5.5 to upgrade.
Version 5.5.5 for linux has version 5.5.6 :-). Filename is right. I downloading this file. Try install later...
