problem with apt-get upgrade
 

Hi
All downloads , but I'm getting this:-

Setting up initscripts (2.88dsf-22) ...
insserv: warning: script 'K50vmware-USBArbitrator' missing LSB tags and overrides
insserv: warning: script 'K01vmware' missing LSB tags and overrides
insserv: warning: script 'vmware' missing LSB tags and overrides
insserv: warning: script 'vmware-USBArbitrator' missing LSB tags and overrides
insserv: There is a loop at service minissdpd if started
insserv: Starting vmware-USBArbitrator depends on minissdpd and therefore on system facility `$all' which can not be true!

The last line scrolls down the page.
Do I need to uninstall vmware to get this to run ?

No.

You have two options. First is to install a version of VMWare that
supports the (now just about standard) initscript headers. If there is
no such version, pester the upstream authors to update their
initscripts.

Second is to create an override, so that you add the headers manually.
That is, create a file /etc/insserv/overrides/FOO (where FOO is the name
of the initscipt being run. Note, not the symlink name. If K01vmware
points to /etc/init.d/vmware, then create
/etc/insserv/overrides/vmware). In that file, write your initscript
header (see http://wiki.debian.org/LSBInitScripts for details). You
should then be able to update your system.

Many thanks the second option has helped.
Vmware have been very slow to update to kernel3, so there are various patches around.

Cheers
