Package: libx11-6 Version: 2:1.1.4-2 Severity: normal Hi there. I've got two machines running Debian GNU/Linux "lenny": cobra and samsara They are both running Debian GNU/Linux "lenny" x86 with the same binary kernel (Linux samsara 2.6.24-1-686 #1 SMP Thu May 8 02:16:39 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux)
The command "aptitude safe-upgrade" installed libx11-6 version 2:1.1.4-2 With version 2:1.1.4-2 of libx11-6, VMware Server 1.05 fails to start on cobra, giving the following error messages on its output: [EMAIL PROTECTED] /home/vmuser>/usr/bin/vmware Locking assertion failure.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] /home/vmuser> The solution, as explained in Debian bug number 486507 is the following: downgrade libx11-6 from 2:1.1.4-2 to 2:1.0.3-7. This solves the problem on cobra. But, samsara has libx11-6 2:1.1.4-2, and there the same version of VMware Server (1.0.5) starts without any problems ! Yes, I am using a valid VMware Server license key :). Actually VMware Server, although proprietary, is free-of-charge. *** In other words, on two machines running the same version of Debian GNU/Linux "lenny", the very same binary kernel, and the very same version of VMware Server 1.05: - on cobra: VMware Server fails to start with libx11-6 version 2:1.1.4-2, I had to downgrade libx11-6 to 2:1.0.3-7 - on samsara: VMware Server runs without any problems with libx11-6 version 2:1.1.4-2 ... now that's puzzling ! *** -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24-1-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages libx11-6 depends on: ii libc6 2.7-10 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libx11-data 2:1.1.4-2 X11 client-side library ii libxcb-xlib0 1.1-1.1 X C Binding, Xlib/XCB interface li ii libxcb1 1.1-1.1 X C Binding libx11-6 recommends no packages. libx11-6 suggests no packages. -- no debconf information Cheers, -- Pierre Bauduin Linux enthusiast since 1996 Linux registered user #64711 Debian GNU/Linux user website: http://pierre.baudu.in/
