Apparently you need >10.0.0 of open-vm-tools on kernels >4.0 (vmware-
tools installer gave that hint)
I tried backporting that from Xenial, by adding Xenial as a source repo
in /etc/apt/sources.list, and then build it from the source package:
cd /tmp
apt-get update
apt-get build-dep open-vm-tools open-vm-tools-desktop
apt-get -b source open-vm-tools open-vm-tools-desktop
dpkg -i *.deb
But that didn't work either, same error.
Installing from the VMWare Tools CD image did work fine and enabled file
sharing with the host system after a reboot.
