Hi,

This looks like some sort of unofficial patch of the vmware-any-any
unofficial patch.  I fixed a bug, so it should be possible to build it
now with vmware-package 0.21 (just uploaded), but you'll need to use -s,
-p, and -u:

edmonds at chase{0}:~/vmware-tmp$ make-vmpkg -s -p any-any -u 115a vmware-any-any-update115a.tgz
 ===> debianizing /home/edmonds/vmware-tmp/vmware-any-any-update115a.tgz
 ===> forcing product "any-any"
 ===> forcing upstream version "115a"
 ===> vmware-package 0.21 build starting in /home/edmonds/vmware-tmp/vmware-any-any/vmware-any-any-115a.0.21.0
 ===> creating source package from /usr/share/vmware-package/any-any
