On my AMD64 box I've keyworded vmware-server, vmware-modules, and vmware-vix in /etc/package/portage.keywords.

When I emerge world, I get
Code:
[blocks B     ] >=app-emulation/vmware-modules-1.0.0.25 (">=app-emulation/vmware-modules-1.0.0.25" is blocking app-emulation/vmware-server-2.0.1.156745-r2, app-emulation/vmware-vix-1.6.2.156745-r1)

 * Error: The above package list contains packages which cannot be
 * installed at the same time on the same system.

  ('ebuild', '/', 'app-emulation/vmware-modules-1.0.0.25', 'merge') pulled in by
    app-emulation/vmware-modules required by world

  ('installed', '/', 'app-emulation/vmware-server-2.0.1.156745-r2', 'nomerge') pulled in by
    app-emulation/vmware-server required by world

How can I resolve this?

Thanks.

hi, try the vmware-modules-1.0.0.24

you can mask the vmware-modules-1.0.0.25,
or change the package.keywords like this
Code:

michael@plauze ~ $ cat /etc/portage/package.keywords/app-emulation
=app-emulation/vmware-server-2.0.1.156745-r2
=app-emulation/vmware-vix-1.6.2.156745-r1
=app-emulation/vmware-modules-1.0.0.24
=app-emulation/virtualbox-ose-2.1.4-r2
=app-emulation/virtualbox-modules-2.1.4
=app-emulation/virtualbox-ose-additions-2.1.4
=app-emulation/virtualbox-bin-2.1.4
=app-emulation/playonlinux-3.6

=app-emulation/virtualbox-ose-additions-2.1.4
=app-emulation/virtualbox-bin-2.1.4
=app-emulation/playonlinux-3.6

Yes, thanks, this works. I masked =vmware-modules-1.0.0.25 in /etc/portage/package.mask and now emerging world doesn't try to pull that in.
