Package: libx11-6
Version: 2:1.1.4-2
Severity: normal
Hi there.
I've got two machines running Debian GNU/Linux "lenny": cobra and
samsara
They are both running Debian GNU/Linux "lenny" x86 with the same binary
kernel (Linux samsara 2.6.24-1-686 #1 SMP Thu May 8 02:16:39 UTC 2008
i686 GNU/Linux)
The command "aptitude safe-upgrade" installed libx11-6 version 2:1.1.4-2
With version 2:1.1.4-2 of libx11-6, VMware Server 1.05 fails to start on
cobra, giving the following error messages on its output:

The solution, as explained in Debian bug number 486507 is the following:
downgrade libx11-6 from 2:1.1.4-2 to 2:1.0.3-7. This solves the problem
on cobra. But, samsara has libx11-6 2:1.1.4-2, and there the same
version of VMware Server (1.0.5) starts without any problems !
Yes, I am using a valid VMware Server license key :). Actually VMware
Server, although proprietary, is free-of-charge.
***
In other words, on two machines running the same version of Debian GNU/Linux "lenny", the very same binary kernel, and the very same version of VMware Server 1.05:
- on cobra: VMware Server fails to start with libx11-6 version 2:1.1.4-2, I had to downgrade libx11-6 to 2:1.0.3-7
- on samsara: VMware Server runs without any problems with libx11-6 version 2:1.1.4-2
... now that's puzzling !

It's not clear it's our bug. We lack information Jamey asked for. Etch is no longer supported. And it seems to no longer happen thanks to some updated dependencies. If anybody can reproduce this bug with lenny or higher, please open a new bug. KiBi.Attachment: signature.asc
