[Vmware-package-maintainers] Bug#440863: fails to run on amd64 due to missing dependency

Package: vmware-package
Version: 0.12
Severity: wishlist

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---

Using vmware-package on debian etch 4.0r1 on amd64 with vmware server 
1.0.3 and any-any update v113 produces an unusable vmware-server package.
In the resulting vmware-server package, vmware-vmx complains about 
libX11.so.6 missing (and requires a ia32 version of it); installing 
ia32-libs solves this problem.

Suggested fix:
Add a dependency on ia32-libs when building vmware server for amd64.
