open-vm-dkms 2011.12.20-562307-0ubuntu1: open-vm-tools kernel module failed to build

[Cesar Augusto Marcelino dos Santos]

I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 32-bit under VMWare Player.

This bug happened when I tried to install several packages using the command:
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-*

I was expecting that, after a long time, all the packages would be installed (more than a GB of physical memory installed), but then my shell was supposedly working when my Ubuntu displayed me the bug report window.
