Bug Description

After latest upgrade on Feisty, several applications stop working, ie vmware, wine, crossover office, etc.
All them report libcxb missing. I paste error:
The correct version of one or more libraries needed to run VMware Workstation
may be missing. This is the output of ldd /usr/bin/vmware:
        linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib32/libm.so.6 (0xf7f83000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib32/libdl.so.2 (0xf7f7f000)

        libxcb.so.1 => not found
        libXau.so.6 => /usr/lib32/libXau.so.6 (0xf7d08000)

Tried reinstalling libxcb packages, but nothing solved. This is my /usr/lib/libxcb* list:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 2007-03-31 13:37 /usr/lib/libxcb.so.1 -> libxcb.so.1.0.0
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 114176 2007-03-09 04:39 /usr/lib/libxcb.so.1.0.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 2007-03-31 13:37 /usr/lib/libxcb-xlib.so.0 -> libxcb-xlib.so.0.0.0
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4928 2007-03-09 04:39 /usr/lib/libxcb-xlib.so.0.0.0

I have experience the same problem. VMware will not work properly post-update due to libxcb. This is a fairly fresh install as well (Installed on Thursday 29 March 2007).

Since the libraries exist and yet aren't being found by the dynamic linker, it seems pretty clear that this is not an XCB bug. Sounds like an Ubuntu packaging bug, perhaps.

On further thought, it sounds like Ubuntu needs to supply a 32-bit version of libxcb.
