Package: open-vm-dkms
Version: 2:8.8.0+2012.05.21-724730-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

Unfortunately even the latest version of open-vm-dkms fails to build
modules and hence fails to install:

------------------------------
Deleting module version: 2012.05.21
completely from the DKMS tree.
------------------------------
Done.

information.

AFAICT the open-vm-dkms package does not deliver a top level Makefile, hence
the command above fails:

Interestingly building the modules manually still worked in the latest
package version, but fails in this one (error message quoted above):

sid:~# dkms build -m open-vm-tools -v 2012.05.21

Kernel preparation unnecessary for this kernel.  Skipping...
