New VMware Workstation 8.0 fails to install on Arch Linux.
Arch Linux is a rolling release distribution which makes effort to use latest versions of programs, distributed through binary packages. So, I'm trying to install it on very up-to-date system (kernel 3.0, python 3.x, etc.).
The problem is, installation fails in the middle. On about 50% it begins to uninstall itself because of an error. The message at the end says only "Installation was unsuccessful."
The critical part of the vmware-installer log (I think) is this:
...
File "/tmp/vmis.ooJaRW/install/vmware-installer/vmis/db.py", line 33, in decorator
raise IntegrityError(unicode(e))
IntegrityError: column path is not unique
[2011-09-16 23:46:57,768] [vmware-usbarbitrator 8.4.18] Installation failed, rolling back installation.
...
Since it's a python script, I tried running it through python 2.x with no success. Judging by it's name (db.py) it also seems to be related to some database system, but I don't know what to do there.
I am attaching the full vmware-installer log.
