[Vmware-package-maintainers] Bug#433880: vmware-package: init.d script fails and suggests fixing with a script that doesn't exist

[James Healy]

Package: vmware-package
Severity: minor


I've used vmware-package to build a vmware-server 1.0.3 package, which
seems to complete succcessfully. 

When I install it with dpkg -i, it attempts to launch the daemon using
it's init.d script but it fails (as expected - no serial numbers
provided or configuration proivded yet).

The error message suggests using /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl to finish
configuration, however that file doesn't exist.

Thanks for your work on this package - I *much* prefer to generate
packages than follow the manual route.
