The only version of nettle which could satisfy the nettle:0/6 dep for vmware-player and vmware-workstation current versions was removed in this commit: https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/dev-libs/nettle?id=01da71fecfa49bed0320d1d2b076f76e9681db31 Does nettle-3.3-r1 really have a different ABI such that it needs a different subslot and no longer can satisfy the requirements of vmware-*? Not sure if we need to restore old nettle or "loosen" vmware-* deps, will CC both involved parties. Thanks!

Hi, This is a difficult one... nettle broke backward compatibility without modifying the soname, see bug#601512. There is no response from upstream regarding this issue, nor a proper portable solution. I cannot even maintain side-by-side of the two because of the same soname. Please check if vmware works with this library, if it does, just bump it, if not, we will need to tweak something especially for the vmware binaries. Thanks, Alon
This bug forced us to take action. Looks like dev-libs/nettle isn't need anymore by the version from the overlay, so masking VMware finally within Gentoo main repository was the easiest solution. See https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=113eb133e4b59e651b03899859edf96869ebdc36 Hopefully not just a missing dep ;)
