[PLUG] Vmware Player Prevents Aptitude from Installing Packages

[Mark Phillips]

I am running a fresh install of debian wheezy. I installed VMware Player
4.0.1 build-528992 and then Windows 7 in a vm. Everything is working
properly, until I tried to use aptitude to install foomatic-db-hpijs.
VMware seems to be preventing aptitude from installing the debian packages.
The error messages:

root at orca:~# aptitude install foomatic-db-hpijs
Note: selecting "foomatic-db" instead of the
      virtual package "foomatic-db-hpijs"
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  foomatic-db
The following partially installed packages will be configured:
  cups
0 packages upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 15 not upgraded.
Need to get 0 B/1,248 kB of archives. After unpacking 6,966 kB will be used.

Anyone see this before? Any ideas, short of removing VMware and then
reinstalling it, to fix this problem?

Thanks,

Mark
