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 /var/cache/apt/archives/vmware-server_1.0.3-1_i386.deb .
% dpkg-deb -e /var/cache/apt/archives/vmware-server_1.0.3-1_i386.deb .
% $EDITOR control
In your editor, change the Version number from 1.0.3-1 to 1.0.3-2
% cp control DEBIAN/
% cd ../
% dpkg-deb --build vmw103
dpkg-deb: building package `vmware-server' in `vmw103.deb'.
% mv vmw103.deb vmware-server_1.0.3-2_i386.deb
% sudo dpkg -i vmware-server_1.0.3-2_i386.deb
Your Update-Manager notification icon should now switch off :-)
