[gentoo-user] vmware-tools and revdep-rebuild
Hello, after upgrading the kernel on a Gentoo machine which is a VMWare guest, I also upgraded vmware-tools (this means, emerge the package, mount the .iso with -o loop, and run ./INSTALL). Basically, no problem as usual, but now revdep-rebuild complains about some files which were installed by vmware-tools: --- cut --- * !!! /usr/lib/vmware-tools/bin32/gksu not owned by any package is broken !!! * /usr/lib/vmware-tools/bin32/gksu - (none) * !!! /usr/lib/vmware-tools/lib32/libconf/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/loaders/libpixbufloader-jpeg.so not owned by any package is broken !!! * /usr/lib/vmware-tools/lib32/libconf/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/loaders/libpixbufloader-jpeg.so - (none) * !!! /usr/lib/vmware-tools/lib32/libconf/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/loaders/libpixbufloader-tiff.so not owned by any package is broken !!! * /usr/lib/vmware-tools/lib32/libconf/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/loaders/libpixbufloader-tiff.so - (none) * !!! /usr/lib/vmware-tools/lib32/libconf/gtk-2.0/modules/libatk-bridge.so not owned by any package is broken !!! * /usr/lib/vmware-tools/lib32/libconf/gtk-2.0/modules/libatk-bridge.so - (none) * !!! /usr/lib/vmware-tools/lib32/libgksu2.so.0/libgksu2.so.0 not owned by any package is broken !!! * /usr/lib/vmware-tools/lib32/libgksu2.so.0/libgksu2.so.0 - (none) * !!! /usr/lib/vmware-tools/lib32/libspi.so.0/libspi.so.0 not owned by any package is broken !!! * /usr/lib/vmware-tools/lib32/libspi.so.0/libspi.so.0 - (none) * !!! /usr/lib/vmware-tools/lib32/libvmware-toolbox.so/libvmware-toolbox.so not owned by any package is broken !!! * /usr/lib/vmware-tools/lib32/libvmware-toolbox.so/libvmware-toolbox.so - (none) * !!! /usr/lib/vmware-tools/plugins32/vmusr/libdesktopEvents.so not owned by any package is broken !!! * /usr/lib/vmware-tools/plugins32/vmusr/libdesktopEvents.so - (none) * !!! /usr/lib/vmware-tools/plugins32/vmusr/libdndcp.so not owned by any package is broken !!! * /usr/lib/vmware-tools/plugins32/vmusr/libdndcp.so - (none) * !!! /usr/lib/vmware-tools/plugins32/vmusr/libresolutionSet.so not owned by any package is broken !!! * /usr/lib/vmware-tools/plugins32/vmusr/libresolutionSet.so - (none) * !!! /usr/lib/vmware-tools/plugins32/vmusr/libunity.so not owned by any package is broken !!! * /usr/lib/vmware-tools/plugins32/vmusr/libunity.so - (none) --- cut --- Seems that most of the files are intended for some graphical desktops (which are not needed here but are installed by vmware-tools anyway). Can I somehow get rid of those messages (apart from just deleting those unneeded libraries which may break other things)? I already tried some configuration with LD_LIBRARY_MASK, but to no avail. Thanks, -Matt

You want SEARCH_DIRS and SERACH_DIRS_MASK entires in /etc/revdep-rebuild. man rebdep-rebuild for details -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com

At this rate, I'll be losing my grammar-nazi rights very very shortly indeed. It's been a hard day, I now know two things: 1. XBMC will not run on the raspberrypi for any sane definition of run 2. A dead Dell XPS with a heat stressed nVidia graphics can be resurrected with 10 minutes in the wife's hot oven What does this have to do with Gentoo? Nothing really, except that my xbmc dev system runs on this gentoo laptop :-) -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com
