Thanks for taking the time to submit this bug. You are running on a backported 2.6.38 kernel. The open-vm-dkms package compiles kernel modules which are very sensitive to ever-changing kernel versions, so the stock lucid package cannot be made to compile for future kernels.
I do believe a backport of open-vm-tools (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports) to match the kernel backports would be very appropriate. Submitting a request for that would seem like a good idea. ** Changed in: open-vm-tools (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to open-vm-tools in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/815089 Title: package open-vm-dkms 2010.02.23-236320-1 ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: open-vm-tools kernel module failed to build To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-vm-tools/+bug/815089/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
