It's been a while since I worked through this so I can't say I exactly
recall how I found the offending file. I think I just worked backwards
from the fact that the /etc/init.d/vmware-player script was throwing the

Jonathan Gordon's instructions worked well for me to preserve a

It may be helpful if Mr. Gordon let us know how to go about finding
these wayward scripts, when we see this error being returned (I'm a
Linux newbie).

Oops, before you purge the player you need to complete the installation.
So basically, execute the following three commands to free apt:
echo|sudo tee /usr/bin/vmware-config-network.pl
sudo apt-get install

I have an atheros chipset, and I have exactly the same problem.
If apt is still broken, you can execute the following command:
echo|sudo tee /usr/bin/vmware-config-network.pl
This blanks the vmware config script which allows apt to proceed with
the installation. This won't make the player work!
I don't have a WLAN chipset. I'm on a desktop machine with a cheap
ethernet card (Intel?) and using the e100 module. My problem arose when
I tried to uninstall and then reinstall vmware. Just wanted to be clear
that there's likely more to this problem than just the wireless issue.
Thanks.

I tend to agree about this problem needing to be fixed sooner rather
than later if possible since it essentially breaks apt. I ran into it
recently, and there is no easy workaround other than to hack the scripts
enough to make apt-get "remove" work as mentioned above.

I am not sure this is the same problem for all of you guys !
Ali : can you check that you have security channel for dapper-security ?
Do you still have the issue ?
saads, this is clearly a problem of kernel modules availability. Please
check if you are on Dapper if you activated security channel
