This bug was fixed in the package open-vm-tools -
2:10.2.0-3~ubuntu0.17.10.1
---------------
open-vm-tools (2:10.2.0-3~ubuntu0.17.10.1) artful; urgency=medium
* backport Bionic open-vm-tools to Artful (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
filesystems are ready to fix a race on startup (LP: #1750780)

Bug description:
Using open-vm-tools/xenial,now 2:10.2.0-3ubuntu0.16.04.1~ppa6 amd64
[installed], subprocesses started by vim.vm.guest.ProcessManager fail
to create temporary files.
Summary:
* When running subprocesss through open-vm-tools 2:10.2.0-3ubuntu0.16.04.1
(via vim.vm.guest.ProcessManager), subprocesses crash while trying to write
temporary files.
* Subprocesses run correctly when executed directly from the shell
* Subprocesses execute correctly from open-vm-tools
open-vm-tools-10.2.0-7253323, when compiled from source
Steps to reproduce:
1. Install open-vm-tools/xenial 2:10.2.0-3ubuntu0.16.04.1~ppa6 on a VMWare
ESX 6.5 16.04 guest
2. Using VMOMI API, start a child process that relies on temporary files (eg.
`apt-get update`)
3. Note the error code on the child process (eg. 100)
4. Run process directly from guest shell (eg. `apt-get update`)
5. Note the successful return code on the child process (1)
Logs from vmtoolsd on guest:

---------------------------------
Psuedo code using pyVMOMI API to start a child process:
#!/usr/bin/python
import re
import time
from pyVim import connect
from pyVmomi import vim, vmodl
service_instance = connect.SmartConnectNoSSL(host=<vcenter_hostname>,
user=<vcenter_username>,
pwd=<vcenter_password>,
port=443)
content = service_instance.RetrieveContent()
vm = content.searchIndex.FindByIp(datacenter=None,
ip=<vm_ip_address>,
vmSearch=True)
creds = vim.vm.guest.NamePasswordAuthentication(
username="root", password=<guest_password>
)
pm = content.guestOperationsManager.processManager
ps = vim.vm.guest.ProcessManager.ProgramSpec(
programPath="/usr/bin/apt-get",
arguments="update"
)
res = pm.StartProgramInGuest(vm, creds, ps)
pid_exitcode = pm.ListProcessesInGuest(vm, creds,
[res]).pop().exitCode
while re.match('[^0-9]+', str(pid_exitcode)):
time.sleep(5)
pid_exitcode = pm.ListProcessesInGuest(vm, creds,
[res]).pop().exitCode
if pid_exitcode == 0:
print("Program %d completed with success" % res)
break
# Look for non-zero code to fail
elif re.match('[1-9]+', str(pid_exitcode)):
print("ERROR: Program apt-get completed with Failure %s" %
pid_exitcode)
