I have turned the i386 package into an amd64 one following the initial work done by the person behind this blog : http://blog.mbentley.net/2012/02/linux-vmware-view-5-client-debs- for-i386-amd64-ubuntu-and-debian/
It turns out that by slightly modifying the control file of the i386 version (changing the Architecture parameters from i386 to amd64 and adding ia32libs in Depends) was sufficient to make an amd64 package that is installable (and working !) on Oneiric and Precise (amd64 versions of course). I known this a hack (I have not a sufficient knowlege in packaging to do something clean), but I hope i will help. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/907081 Title: vmware-view-client:i386 is shown in software-center on amd64, but is uninstallable To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vmware-view-client/+bug/907081/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
