Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: vmware-server
Installed vmware-server package from the Canonical partners repository
for Gutsy.
See the "IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR XINETD USERS" and messages about
vmnet module, Virtual machine monitor, and Virtual ethernet failing or
not being loaded below, near the bottom of this post.
After installation, update-manager displays icon on top panel with a
message that there is 1 update available, and aptitude attempts to
"safe-upgrade" the vmware-server package from the same version to the
same version. This behavior does not cease and also occurred for me in
Feisty after aptitude upgraded vmware-server from v1.0.3 to v1.0.4. In
Feisty, this behavior occurred even though vmware-server was
successfully installed, upgraded, and suitable for production use.
