tags 990660 + moreinfo unreproducible Hi Christoph, The package installs /etc/vmware-tools/tools.conf since 2007.09.04-56574-1 It was never moved or removed since then and still is present these days.
Being a conffile if you had modifications it would have stayed as-is. And even if we would have moved it, then dpkg-maintscript-helper would have suffixed the remainders with .dpkg-*. I didn't find anything in the git log of the open-vm-tools package, not around 2011 nor elsewhere. I might miss a potential path how this was created, but right now to me it seems this was not created by the package and thereby the package is not supposed to remove it (not even on purge) Do you happen to know/see how/when this file was created in the first place? -- Christian Ehrhardt Staff Engineer, Ubuntu Server Canonical Ltd
