It's much worse than that. It also triggers @preserved-libs, there's a bug about it. What I would like to do, given infinite time, is * introduce a use-flag "bundled-libs", default on now, off later * for USE=bundled-libs, fiddle with the library paths so it's 100% clear to portage and everything else that vmware needs to load libs from /opt/vmware (there's another bug about it) * for USE=-bundled-libs, remove all bundled libs during installation if possible Am Sonntag, 15.

And yes there's also now a mirror on github. Just give me some time please, I still need to sort out LibreOffice 4.4 and some other stuff first... -- Andreas K.
