Yes, that is the way to solve the blocking. But even after masking
vmware-player, I have trouble getting vmware-workstation-7.1.1.282343
installed.
How can mware-workstation-7.1.1.282343 depend on vmware-modules-238, and
vmware-modules-238 depend on vmware-workstation-7.1.0.261024. To me this
is bug.
Probably mware-workstation-7.1.1.282343 should depend on
vmware-modules-238.1 (notice the .1 in the version 238.1), which is also
available in the overlay.
