Bug Description

I am filing this bug mainly, so I have something to mark in my proposal (which will probably be thrown out because I'm apparently a lunatic, my words, with no evidence to back it up)

DistroRelease: Ubuntu Quantal Alpha 1
Package: open-vm-dkms 2011.12.20-562307-0ubuntu2

When attempting to install the packaging on a clean machine (which I did to see if the kernel built properly, I doubt it) it fails to download or install (I'm installing open-vm-tools, open-vm-toolbox, and open-vm-dkms).

Here's what I'm getting when I install through Terminal:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 open-vm-dkms : Depends: dkms but it is not going to be installed

Through Synaptic:
Wants me to uninstall/remove a couple dozen packages (unity, xserver, checkbox, etc)

This is happening even if I have quantal-proposed checked or not.

Using my packaging (aka the stuff I've been trying get into the Quantal Repo for the last month or so), which was rebuilt within the last day (to build against the newer procps), installs without issues.
