Oh... This is kind of important I guess... I'm using vmware-view-open-
client because vmware-view-client is, for some reason, i386 only -
perhaps that's due to being non-open source as the maintainer of this
package noted.

vmware-view-open-client was as noted above, annoyingly, removed from
trusty.  Apparently an upstream debian thing.  This is pretty bad for
the keycard/vmware view setup in corp/gov world.

Now, vmware-view-client *is* still in existence but due to the i386
dependency, to get your keycard to work on current ubuntu LTS will
require installing a ton of i386 libs (since you're probably all-64bit
like most sane people).

Now unfortunately, I was not able to find opensc:i386 or libengine-
pkcs11-openssl:i386 packages, so this was a total non-starter.

Luckily, the ubuntu dev that pulled it kindly pointed me to:
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/160769423/vmware-view-open-client_4.5.0-297975+dfsg-4ubuntu4_amd64.deb

Which works just fine.

So, for anyone wandering by Launchpad trying to figure out how to get
your VMWare view to work with your keycard, as well as the fixes above
to opensc and the symlink, you'll probably want to get this .deb too
that was yanked from ubuntu :/
