Package: open-vm-tools Version: 2009.10.15-201664-1 Severity: normal Tags: patch
The problem is that in the plugins/common direcroty there are both .so and ..la files. So, these plugins get to load twice. That's where the error comes from. As a workaround you can delete the .la files from there by typing: rm /etc/vmware-tools/plugins/common/*.la Attached is also a small patch for that problem. -- Vasilis Pappas -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30-2-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages open-vm-tools depends on: ii libatk1.0-0 1.28.0-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libc6 2.9-25 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcairo2 1.8.8-2 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libfontconfig1 2.6.0-4 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.3.9-5 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libgcc1 1:4.4.1-4 GCC support library ii libglib2.0-0 2.22.2-2 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk2.0-0 2.18.2-1 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libice6 2:1.0.5-1 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libicu42 4.2.1-3 International Components for Unico ii libpango1.0-0 1.26.0-1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libsm6 2:1.1.1-1 X11 Session Management library ii libstdc++6 4.4.1-4 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libx11-6 2:1.2.2-1 X11 client-side library ii libxext6 2:1.0.4-1 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxinerama1 2:1.0.3-2 X11 Xinerama extension library ii libxrandr2 2:1.3.0-2 X11 RandR extension library ii libxrender1 1:0.9.4-2 X Rendering Extension client libra ii libxss1 1:1.1.3-1 X11 Screen Saver extension library ii libxtst6 2:1.0.3-1 X11 Testing -- Resource extension ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-15 compression library - runtime Versions of packages open-vm-tools recommends: ii ethtool 6+20090323-2 display or change Ethernet device ii open-vm-source 2009.10.15-201664-1 Source for VMware guest systems dr ii zerofree 1.0.1-1 zero free blocks from ext2/3 file- Versions of packages open-vm-tools suggests: ii open-vm-toolbox 2009.10.15-201664-1 tools and components for VMware gu -- no debconf information
