vmware-server 1.0.4-1feisty1 keeps re-upgrading on 7.04
apt always thinks vmware-server needs upgrading. If I do "apt-get upgrade" followed by an "apt-get upgrade" it will still install vmware-server again. I have tried "apt-get remove vmware-server; dpkg --purge vmware-server; apt-get install vmware-server", but I'm still in the same fix. "apt-cache show" output is below. It does have a mismatch in "Section: ".
