So since wheezy has finally been released as the new ‘stable’ version of Debian, I went ahead and revisited vmware-view-client on wheezy. I ran into a number of problems Basically, the solution is to use multi-arch and libssl0.9.8 from Ubuntu (i386). You will want the i386 packages even if you are using the amd64 build of Debian wheezy. Please note that if you have anything that relies on the Debian squeeze version of libssl0.9.8, installing the Ubuntu version of libssl0.9.8 as seen below will break those packages and apt will want to remove them! If you get an error in apt asking to remove a number of packages or needing to run apt-get install -f to fix broken dependencies, this is the case. Removing the Ubuntu version of libssl0.9.8 and reinstalling libssl0.9.8 from squeeze will resolve that. ...

it looks like vmware-view-client has a new version available (version 1.6.0). i went forward with creating these but i haven’t had any time to test a whole lot (i’ve only tested with debian squeeze) so if anyone wants to try them out and report back to me, that would be greatly appreciated. vmware-view-client 1.6.0 - debian squeeze, ubuntu 10.04 and mint 9 i386 | amd64 vmware-view-client 1.6.0 - debian sid, ubuntu 12.10 and mint 14 i386 | amd64 ...
