I've asked the package maintainer, Fabio Massimo Di Nitto, if he can
indicate when the Launchpad fix will be rolled out and this bug closed:

Fabio, seems you closed this bug too soon. As reported, 1.0.4-1feisty2
(dd. 16Nov) still triggers this bug. Even if it is a dependency bug
(i.e. launchpad), it seems wise to leave the bug open until the
installation of the vmware-server package no longer causes this bug.
If you want, reassign it
Sascha:
Removing the repository from update-manager/sources.list doesn't affect the
installation of vmware-server, which will stay installed. It just means that
the commercial package lists will not be downloaded on a daily basis and this
bug will not be triggered.
When this bug is eventually
Fabio:
This was a launchpad bug that has been fixed.
I just reinstated the commercial repo in sources.list, ran apt-get
update again and the problem is still here. Or do you mean when the
*next* vmware-server package is prepared, this bug will go away?
Please clarify.

vmware-server:
The above workaround which I posted does not work. Although it fixes the
recursive update issue -- it breaks the vmware gui. Which is not quite
the point ... .
I can confirm that the 'recursive update' problem is also present in the
latest 1.0.4 package.

Workaround for Ubuntu bug #160683
The following procedure will get rid of this annoying little problem.
% mkdir -p vmw103/DEBIAN
% cd vmw103/
% dpkg-deb -x
what if vmware server 1.0.3-2 actually does get released?
The Nov6 VMWare package release that triggered this bug should have been
called 1.0.3-2, so we are really just giving it its proper version
number.
If there is another 1.0.3 release (to close this bug!), hopefully the
VMWare Build Team
Bug assigned to the package maintainer (VMware Build Team).
