It seems that the packages "kmod-open-vm-tools-*" have dependencies on "open-vm-tools-kmod-common" with a revision greater than or equal to their own. The packages "open-vm-tools-*" provide this with a revision number equal to their own.
There is a package "kmod-open-vm-tools" with a revision 179896 but no corresponding "open-vm-tools-*" package (172495 is the latest) and this is why the dependency is not satisfied. Revision 172495 relates to kernel 2.6.29.6-217.2.3 and revision 179896 relates to kernel 2.6.29.6-217.2.7 But the kernel has been bumped to .8 now so the same thing appears to have happened. There is a new kmod-open-vm-tools for .8 with revision 179896 but still no corresponding open-vm-tools. I am sure that, like the proverbial bus, there will be another one or three along shortly.
