Hi Yanhuih,
So this was either a one-off case or a broken setup.

You mentioned that you had to delete /var/lib/dpkg/lock.
That usually just means there is an apt process running, probably updates in 
the background right after install.
Maybe (but even that is unlikely) this affected your case (you should never 
need to delete that file).

For a normal case installing vm tools it seems to work just fine.
Setting incomplete unless we find a reproducible way that proves this is a real 
issue and not just an accident or misconfiguration.

Does this happen every time to you?
If it does, is this driven by a script and might just check too fast after 
install while it is still starting up?
Anything else that might help to understand why you see this?
