Thanks for the explantion about the 'linux-hwe-generic' package. It being
outdated explains why I was confused about it. ;-)
Just to make sure...
Is it correct that 'linux-hwe-generic' should then always depend on the latest
supported 'linux-generic-lts-*' package?
Also will 'open-vm-dkms-hwe' t
Thank you, Robie.

I'm hitting this issue with a Python upgrade script that utilizes
python-apt and manual apt/dpkg calls if needed.
As test VM I'm using this setup:
1) Installed Ubuntu 12.04.0
(http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/12.04.0/ubuntu-12.04-desktop-amd64.iso)
under VMware Workstation 10

user.desktop', which is also in package open-vm-toolbox
2011.12.20-562307-0ubuntu1
