Package: open-vm-tools-dkms
Version: 2:9.4.6-1770165-8~bpo70+1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
Building the dkms modules is not working, due to the changes in struct dentry.
You have applied a patch d_alias_fix, but this checks for kernel version >=
3.16.7
Removing this check will make compilation possible, but likely this would mean
youd have to make sure the kernel is updated to a recent version

Hi,
please either use
- 2:8.8.0+2012.05.21-724730-1+nmu2+deb7u1 from wheezy (updated with the
last point release)
- 2:9.10.2-2822639-1~bpo70+2 from wheezy-backports-sloppy
The version from wheezy-backports was removed and is not being
maintained anymore.
Thanks,
Bernd
