Hi!

This is what I get when I start the installation with RPM:
---
# rpm -i --test VMware-workstation-3.1.1-1790.i386.rpm

#whereis gives a responce on some of the stuff at least:

sh: /bin/sh /usr/share/man/man1/sh.1.gz
ld-linux.so: /lib/ld-linux.so.2
libc.so: /lib/libc.so.6 /usr/lib/libc.so
libcrypt.so: /lib/libcrypt.so.1 /usr/lib/libcrypt.so
libdl.so: /lib/libdl.so.2 /usr/lib/libdl.so
libm.so: /lib/libm.so.6 /usr/lib/libm.so
perl: /usr/bin/perl /usr/lib/perl /usr/share/perl
/usr/share/man/man1/perl.1.gz

So what's the problem?
I've never before installad a package with RPM in Debian, are there some
weird oddities combined with that?

Cheers,
Helgi Örn
