This bug was fixed in the package open-vm-tools -
2:10.2.0-3~ubuntu0.16.04.1
---------------
open-vm-tools (2:10.2.0-3~ubuntu0.16.04.1) xenial; urgency=medium
* backport Bionic open-vm-tools to Xenial (LP: #1741390)
- d/control: B-D for dh-autoreconf and dh-systemd
- d/rules: re-add autoreconf and systemd
- d/control: B-D to debhelper version of xenial supporting compat 10
- d/compat: compat level 10 is latest xenial supported level
- d/rules: go back from override_dh_installsystemd to
override_dh_systemd_enable and override_dh_systemd_start as needed on
xenials debhelper version.
- d/rules: drop --no-restart-after-upgrade which only exists in debhelper
10, the version 9 behavior defaults to what we need.
- debian/rules: dh_systemd_start in xenial has issues with the escaping of
the run-vmblock\\x2dfuse.mount job, so drop this call
- debian/open-vm-tools-desktop.postinst: add a fixed version of what
dh_systemd_start would have added
- d/open-vm-tools-desktop.prerm, d/open-vm-tools-desktop.postrm: add what
dh_systemd_start would have added (as-is since those sections worked)
- d/control: update maintainers
* d/open-vm-tools.service: Add After=local-fs.target dependency ensuring
filesystems are ready to fix a race on startup (LP: #1750780)
open-vm-tools (2:10.2.0-3ubuntu3) bionic; urgency=medium
* Disable PrivateTmp for the open-vm-tools.service as it triggers issues
when triggering processes that need tmp through VMOMI API (LP: #1758428)
open-vm-tools (2:10.2.0-3ubuntu2) bionic; urgency=medium
* Revert change in d/open-vm-tools.service that added After=local-fs.target.
It turned out that the systemd in bionic already implicitly fixes
this issue (the change is still needed for backports) (LP: 1750780)
open-vm-tools (2:10.2.0-3ubuntu1) bionic; urgency=medium
* d/open-vm-tools.service: Add After=local-fs.target dependency ensuring

Mounting fuse filesystems requires mount.fuse - and doing so
is required for a working desktop running under VMware.
* [cf1f9b3] Ensure /run/vmblock-fuse is mounted properly.
- open-vm-tools-desktop.postinst: Add the fuse module if it was
not loaded into the kernel before

- Ensure /run/vmblock-fuse is mounted before open-vm-tools.service
is started.
* [1f479db] Do not restart run-vmblock\x2dfuse.mount on upgrades.
Restarting won't work if people are using the mountpoint,
also it would require to restart vmtoolsd.
* Unfortunately mounting the fuse filesystem properly depends
on a fix in deb-systemd-invoke, see #861204.

* [60d1417] Merge tag 'upstream/10.1.5-5055683'
Upstream version 10.1.5-5055683
Closes: #856330
10.1.5 is a point release fixing the following issues:
- Authentication failure is reported as unknown general system error.
Attempts to authenticate through VGAuth service might result
in an authentication-specific error such as an expired account or
password. The authentication-specific error might then be incorrectly
reported as an unknown general system error, similar to the following:
CommunicationException: Failed to create temp file on target
<IP_ADDRESS>: A general system error occurred: Unknown error
- Unable to backup virtual machines with active Docker containers.
This bug should not happen in Debian stretch at all, but might
be relevant for backports.
- Fix ISO mappings for CentOS/OracleLinux. Not relevant for Debian
- Thaw Filesystems if snapshot commit message to VMX fails.
- Add missing agent configuration files that were accidentally
ignored by .gitignore

Please backport open-vm-tools 2:10.2.0-3 (main) from bionic
Status in Xenial Backports:
New
Status in open-vm-tools package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
[Impact]
* Without SRUing the never version users get issues running on more
recent hipervisors.
* See comment #6 for where we decided to consider this SRU-worthy
* This is not backporting a single fix, but the version of a latter
Ubuntu release
[Test Case]
* This is special in this case, and there are two things
* a) If one doesn't have a vmware hipervisor he can take get a free 30
day trial and test the upgrade in there
* b) more important there is a while matrix of potential hipervisor
versions to test and none of us has them available. Therefore
vmware being the owner of the hipservisor as well as the open-vm-
tools upstream project volunteered to verify the upload (already
done on the PPA ,will be done on the SRU again)
[Regression Potential]
* This is quite a bump of versions, so if the new version has issues
the old one had not there might be regressions. There are no known
issues like that atm and this also is why we pulled VMWare into
helping us with the verification (as they are more an authority to
call it good)
[Other Info]
* This was meant to go to backports, but after several discussions a
release via SRU is preferred as this will benefit all users way more.
* Down the road we intend to re-do so for the LTS releases >=Xenial of
Ubuntu backporting from the most recent Dev release, so ~6 month
cadence.
---
This is no more intended to be a backport, but instead an SRU
Keep the content if ever needed again.
Description:
Please backport open-vm-tools 2:10.2.0-3 (main) from bionic to xenial.
Reason for the backport:
========================
Newer versions of VMWare ESXi, especially newer features of those require the
availability of newer open-vm-tools in the guest.
Making that available as an SRU is at the moment considered to be too much of
a risk due to the lack of a vast array of ESXi verification setups.
But it seems good and somewhat tested, while OTOH important for several
users, which is why it seems the backports pocket is just the right pocket to
go to.
Testing:
========
A ppa is made available for testing at:
https://launchpad.net/~ci-train-ppa-service/+archive/ubuntu/3152
You can test it with:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ci-train-ppa-service/3152
apt install open-vm-tools
* xenial - build:
[No - see below] Package builds without modification
* xenial - install:
(tested on VMWare Workstation 14 - upgrading to ppa version)
[X] open-vm-tools installs cleanly and runs
[X] open-vm-tools-desktop installs cleanly and runs
[X] open-vm-tools-dev installs cleanly and runs
(ppa builds with debug, so I enabled debug from ppa for these tests)
[X] open-vm-tools-desktop-dbgsym installs cleanly and runs
[X] open-vm-tools-dbgsym installs cleanly and runs
* Modifications:
The backport needs some modifications to build:
- run autoreconf/systemd dh helpers
- use the older debhelper B-D
- revert to compat 10 (which is the latest supported in xenial)
Modifications are made available as git tree for easy review.
=>
https://code.launchpad.net/~paelzer/ubuntu/+source/open-vm-tools/+git/open-vm-tools/+ref/backport-xenial-lp1741390
You might need to get the tarballs first to build so I recommend:
$ pull-lp-source open-vm-tools
$ git clone -b backport-xenial-lp1741390
https://git.launchpad.net/~paelzer/ubuntu/+source/open-vm-tools
Then you can review/modify/build locally
$ cd open-vm-tools
$ dpkg-buildpackage -S -nc -d -sa -v2:10.0.7-3227872-5ubuntu1~16.04.1
If you are a "git ubuntu" user you could also do
$ git ubuntu clone open-vm-tools
$ git ubuntu remote add paelzer
$ git checkout backport-xenial-lp1741390
Reverse dependencies:
=====================
The following reverse-dependencies need to be tested against the new version
of open-vm-tools. For reverse-build-dependencies (-Indep), please test that the
package still builds against the new open-vm-tools. For reverse-dependencies,
please test that the version of the package currently in the release still
works with the new open-vm-tools installed. Reverse- Recommends, Suggests, and
Enhances don't need to be tested, and are listed for completeness-sake.

-----------------
----- original bug -----
The latest Xenial open-vm-tools package is almost two years out of
date.
I'm building Xenial systems in an up-to-date VMware environment and I
need VMware tools updated to the latest stable version. We have
experienced problems with VMware products when different components
were mismatched.
We also require open-vm-tools-desktop updated as a bug in either it or
this package are causing problems with a VMware's Horizon view virtual
desktop environment.
Version 10.0.7 of open-vm-tools was first released in February 2016.
The current stable is 10.2.0 released in December last year.
See: https://github.com/vmware/open-vm-tools
And: https://github.com/vmware/open-vm-tools/releases/tag/stable-10.2.0
Could these packages please be updated for Xenial? We're relying on
them.
Thank you!
