It's likely that your current version has been masked, for some reason. |
| 22 |
Try this to find out why: |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
emerge --pretend =app-emulation/vmware-modules-1.0.0.23 |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
That should tell you why it can't remerge that version, spitting out the |
| 27 |
comment from package.mask or otherwise telling you what's wrong |
| 28 |
(keywords, blocker, whatever). |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
FWIW, it lets me pretend-install that version here, but I don't have |
| 31 |
VMWare installed (it's proprietaryware which I don't do) so whatever |
| 32 |
blocker there might be I'm not seeing, and if the mask was just added in |
| 33 |
the last 24-36 hours or so, I'd not see it either as I've not synced in |
| 34 |
that time. |
