Package: open-vm-tools Version: 2:12.3.x open-vm-tools containerInfo plugin is being installed in incorrect directory
VMware's internal builds and testing of upcoming versions of open-vm-tools is based on the debian packaging source seen at https://salsa.debian.org/vmware-packaging-team/pkg-open-vm-tools/ The debian/rules script contains the following related to the positioning of the containerInfo plugin # moving open-vm-tools-containerinfo files mkdir -p debian/open-vm-tools-containerinfo/usr/lib/$(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH)/open-vm-tools/plugin/containerinfo/ mv debian/open-vm-tools/usr/lib/$(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH)/open-vm-tools/plugins/vmsvc/libcontainerInfo.so debian/open-vm-tools-containerinfo/usr/lib/$(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH)/open-vm-tools/plugins/containerinfo/ The optional containerInfo plugin, if installed, will be run by the vmtoolsd service. The libcontainerInfo.so plugin should be installed in the open-vm-tools/plugins/vmsvc directory as is the libserviceDiscovery.so plugin. Please update the debian/rules file with: # moving open-vm-tools-containerinfo files mkdir -p debian/open-vm-tools-containerinfo/usr/lib/$(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH)/open-vm-tools/plugi/vmsvc/ mv debian/open-vm-tools/usr/lib/$(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH)/open-vm-tools/plugins/vmsv/libcontainerInfo.so debian/open-vm-tools-containerinfo/usr/lib/$(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH)/open-vm-tools/plugins/vmsvc/ Have filed BZ with Ubuntu at:https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-vm-tools/+bug/2043897 Thanks, John Wolfe
