VMware player is not allowing Aptitude from installing the Debian packages

Right now I have installed debian wheezy. I have also installed VMware Player 4.0.1 build-528992 and Windows 7 on VM. Everything was completely fine till I used aptitude to install foomatic-db-hpijs. I am suspecting that VMware is not allowing the installation of aptitude from the debian packages and I am getting below mentioned error message.

Code:

Welcome for any help......

Re: VMware player is not allowing Aptitude from installing the Debian packages

I have added below mentioned lines to script and after doing that there was no issue while installing.

Code:

### BEGIN INIT INFO # Provides: vmware-USBArbitrator # Required-Start: $remote_fs $syslog # Required-Stop: $remote_fs $syslog # Default-Start: 2 3 5 # Default-Stop: 2 3 5 # Short-Description: Start daemon when vmware starts # Description: Enable service provided by daemon. ### END INIT INFO

Re: VMware player is not allowing Aptitude from installing the Debian packages

In the situation of mine I noticed that usb port was not working on Windows 7 which is installed as guest operating system. however after re enabling original vmware-USBArbitrator and rebooted the system. USB port started to work flawlessly on guest and host.

Re: VMware player is not allowing Aptitude from installing the Debian packages

I recommend that you should create a symbolic link to rc.d folder.

Code:

# ln -s /etc/init.d/vmware /etc/rc.d/vmware # ln -s /etc/init.d/vmware-workstation-server /etc/rc.d/vmware-workstation-server

Re: VMware player is not allowing Aptitude from installing the Debian packages

After going through the problem I am suggesting that you should use /etc/insserv/overrides.
You have to create /etc/insserv/overrides/vmware by using following

Code:

### BEGIN INIT INFO # Provides: vmware # Required-Start: $remote_fs $syslog # Required-Stop: $remote_fs $syslog # Default-Start: 2 3 5 # Default-Stop: 2 3 5 # Short-Description: VMware VMX service for virtual machines # Description: Allows running of VMware virtual machines. ### END INIT INFO

Now you have to create /etc/insserv/overrides/vmware-USBArbitrator by using following

Code:

### BEGIN INIT INFO # Provides: vmware-USBArbitrator # Required-Start: $remote_fs $syslog vmware # Required-Stop: $remote_fs $syslog vmware # Default-Start: 2 3 5 # Default-Stop: 2 3 5 # Short-Description: Start daemon when vmware starts # Description: Enable service provided by daemon. ### END INIT INFO After doing that you have to run below mentioned command chmod +x /etc/insserv/overrides/vmware*

Re: VMware player is not allowing Aptitude from installing the Debian packages

Well I am highly suspecting that above mentioned issue is happening because of the bug issue and it should be fixed by the developers.
