you said formerly :
so i tried uninstall the alien version.. then
tries to install with all distro version again.. sadly, it just gave
me an error:
A previous installation of VMware software has been detected.
I infer from this that you made a .deb out of the rpm and then
dpkg -i debianized-vmware.deb
Is that correct ?
If so, try
dpkg -l | grep foo
where foo is the name of the .deb you created out of the rpm
you SHOULD see it there if it was properly installed
Secondly, I don't see how the tarball version (.tar.gz or .tar.bz2) will
complain about a previously installed .deb or .rpm. Have you tried
that ?
