http://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=351 David Timms <dtimms(a)iinet.net.au&gt; changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|NEW |RESOLVED Resolution|--- |WONTFIX --- Comment #9 from David Timms <dtimms(a)iinet.net.au&gt; --- According VMware website: https://www.vmware.com/support/policies/general.html document: https://www.vmware.com/content/dam/digitalmarketing/vmware/en/pdf/support... VMware Server (free) is no longer available for download and is past the supported phase in the lifecycle matrix: Product v Gen Avail: SupportFin Download: Server 1.x 2006/07/12 2010/03/23 N/A GSP Not available Server 2.x 2008/09/23 2011/06/30 N/A GSP Not available. Over the past years Linux based VM technologies reached parity with the VMware offerings; I've used Virt Manager QEMU/KVM for my needs for last few years. === In any case, for completeness, I tried installing the rpms which VMware used to freely provide: === # dnf install VMware-server-console-1.0.10-203137.i386.rpm ...

Error: nothing provides pam_unix.so needed by vmware-requirements-server-1.0-5.fc24.x86_64 (try to add '--allowerasing' to command line to replace conflicting packages) === As I have no interest in VMware Server anymore, closing this. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
