[Vmware-package-maintainers] Bug#440882: vmware-package: broken dependencies on i686

[Benjamin E. Schallar]

Package: vmware-package
Version: 0.13
Severity: wishlist

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

Using vmware server 1.0.3 with the vmware any-any patchset v113, 
vmware-vmx was unable to run due to insufficient dependencies.

Suggested fix:

arch=i686:
  - depend on libxt6 zlib1g libxtst6 libxrender1.
arch=amd64:
  - depend on ia32-libs.

As ia32-libs are unavailable on i686, such a dependency makes the 
package unusable on this architecture. :-(
