grexk: thanks for the patch. A few nits for future reference: - LP closers are generally of the form (LP: #nn) - you didn't have the hash - It looks like you added a superfluous line to set SRC_VERSION in debian/rules - Your version number was appropriate for a PPA upload, but not for uploading to Ubuntu. There's some discussion of version numbering schemes at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment#Working%20with%20Ubuntu%20Packages Of course, packages that support building kernel modules with module- assistant are special. For those packages, it's necessary to use +ubuntu1 instead of just ubuntu1 in order to avoid version sorting issues. I've combined grexk's patch with my patch for bug #391224 with the recommendations on using dkms in bug #497149. I've uploaded a test build to my PPA (https://launchpad.net/~broder/+archive/ubuntu-tests), and I'm attaching the resulting debdiff.

Hi Craig, The vmtoolsd issue is a problem in the vmtoolsd source, not the package (although symlinking can help in the meantime as you've noticed).

You are remarkable - the addition of Jaunty packages to the PPA makes my life a whole lot easier.

Mr Ordono, thanks for this great work!
I just compiling the package myself, and noticed two interesting
warnings:

configure: WARNING: libnotify not found; notification disabled
Should a build dependency on libnotify-dev be added?
2) dpkg-gencontrol: warning: unknown substitution variable ${misc:Depends}

3) On karmic, the package compiles and works great!
4) On jaunty, if the dependency on liburiparser-dev is dropped and
--disable-unity is added to the configure line, the packages and works
great!
I can't wait until the amd64 situation is resolved. I'm quite psyched

With open-vm-tools the way it is now, if a kernel upgrade is performed (as happens often with security upgrades), and you forget to re-compile open-vm-sources, at next boot the system will have some major issues (like networking doesn't come up).
