Hack to fix VMware Horizon Client for 64-bit Linux in Debian Sid

If you try to run vmware-view after installing it with these instructions and are greeted by this error:

$ vmware-view
/usr/lib/vmware/view/bin/vmware-view: error while loading shared libraries: libpng12.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

You do this little hack:

# ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpng16.so.16 /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpng12.so.0


Inspiration for this hack came from https://communities.vmware.com/thread/545364
