[gutsy] vmware-player is not installable + outdated

[Bart Verwilst]

Binary package hint: vmware-player-kernel-modules

This package cannot be installed because it depends on a kernel-modules package for an obsolete ( for gutsy ) kernel:

  vmware-player-kernel-modules: Depends: vmware-player-kernel-modules-2.6.20-15 but it is not installable

Could this package be updated to 2.0.1, and built for the latest gutsy kernel?

Thanks a lot!
