65 That does not seem to be enough.

67 Looking at the ebuilds, I have found the following:
68
69
70
71 # grep vmware-modules /var/lib/layman/vmware/app-emulation/vmware-workstation/vmware-workstation-7.1.1.282343.ebuild
72 PDEPEND="~app-emulation/vmware-modules-238
73
74 # grep -B 2 vmware-workstation /var/lib/layman/vmware/app-emulation/vmware-modules/vmware-modules-238.ebuild
75 DEPEND="${RDEPEND}
76 || ( ~app-emulation/vmware-player-3.1.0.261024
77 ~app-emulation/vmware-workstation-7.1.0.261024 )"
78
79 # grep -B 2 vmware-workstation /var/lib/layman/vmware/app-emulation/vmware-modules/vmware-modules-238.1.ebuild
80 DEPEND="${RDEPEND}
81 || ( ~app-emulation/vmware-player-3.1.1.282343
82 ~app-emulation/vmware-workstation-7.1.1.282343 )"
83
84
85
86
87
88 Therefore it seems that there are errors in the dependencies in the
89 ebuilds: vmware-workstation-7.1.1.282343 depends on vmware-modules-238,
90 which depends on vmware-workstation-7.1.0.261024.
91
92 Is this a bug? If so, where should it be reported?
