It means the binary wants to load some libraries (like libexpat.so)
portage can't find.

But vmware (or rather, the linker) seems to find them. Maybe they are in
the same directory as the binary and portage doesn't search there? You
can check which libraries exactly the binary wants to load with ldd.

Revdep-rebuild won't work because vmware-workstation is a binary package.
You may need to add a file to /etc/revdep-rebuild that adds the vmware
path (somewhere in /opt?) to SEARCH_DIRS_MASK.

[gentoo-user] "Broken soname dependencies found" after portage upgrade

[Nikos Chantziaras]

After upgrading from portage 3.0.28 to 3.0.30, I get this when doing 
emerge --depclean:


Calculating dependencies... done!

What does it even mean?

(And before anyone asks, the software works just fine, and neither 
revdep-rebuild nor revdep-rebuild.sh find anything wrong.)
