[Vmware-package-maintainers] Bug#434302: vmware-package: Install vmware-server-console package doesn't load on i386

[James Healy]

Package: vmware-package
Version: 0.9
Severity: important


When attempting to run vmware-server-console on my i386 machine, I get
the following error. The machine in question is *not* the one running
vmware-server - vmware-server-console is the only vmware package that is
installed (besides vmware-package).

The vmware-server-console package was built on the same host.

jh at gaz:~$ vmware-server-console 
/usr/lib/vmware-server-console/bin/vmware-server-console: /usr/lib/vmware-server-console/lib/libpng12.so.0/libpng12.so.0: no version information available (required by /usr/lib/libcairo.so.2)
/usr/lib/vmware-server-console/bin/vmware-server-console: /usr/lib/vmware-server-console/lib/libpng12.so.0/libpng12.so.0: no version information available (required by /usr/lib/libcairo.so.2)
/usr/lib/vmware-server-console/bin/vmware-server-console: /usr/lib/vmware-server-console/lib/libpng12.so.0/libpng12.so.0: no version information available (required by /usr/lib/libcairo.so.2)
/usr/share/themes/Clearlooks/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:34: error: unexpected character `@', expected string constant

If I install a copy of vmware-server-console on the AMD64 host that is
running vmware-server, I can ssh in with X forwarding enabled and run it
that way, however we'd like users without shell accounts on the server
to be able to admin their own VMs.
