Package: open-vm-tools Version: open-vm-tools service (vmtoolsd) fails to
start Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation? Tried to start vmtoolsd
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)?
n/a
* What was the outcome of this action? Condition not met, start failed
* What outcome did you expect instead? vmtoolsd starts
The following condition caused the failure:
ConditionVirtualization=vmware was not met
After commenting it out vmtoolsd started successfully. For what it's worth,
the same condition fails in VMware vmplayer.

FYI: there was no change in the behaviour in open-vm-tools. Doubt that
was a problem in the package...
