In the GNU Enterprise IRC channel the other day someone mentioned that
vmware and win4lin are both hitting a glibc bug. Don't know if that's been
fixed. Don't rememeber if it was testing or unstable or both.

Looks like some missing Conflicts. Try upgrading netkit-inetd and bsdutils
from the next distro up, e.g. get them from unstable if you're using
testing. Alternatively, uninstall them.
