"so you might have hit a time where
this was partially updated?"
Maybe this is the case, because all the aptitude commands failed with the error
message:
"Failed to stop run-vmblock-fuse.mount: Unit run-vmblock-fuse.mount not loaded."
I traced the problem to the deb-systemd-invoke command. After I changed
the pre-removal script of open-vm-tools, I could successfully purge
open-vm-tools and open-vm-tools-desktop, then successfully do "apt-get
upgrade" and again install open-vm-tools and open-vm-tools-desktop. Now
it's working all fine. I'm not sure if my case is special, but maybe you
could consider to fix the pre-removal script likewise? I would leave
that to you. :)
