[Bug 1807441] Re: dangling symlink /usr/bin/vmware-user

[Bug 1807441] Re: dangling symlink /usr/bin/vmware-user
Thanks Scott, the target of the link is actually content of open-vm-tools-desktop. Once that is installed the symlink is ok. We don't want a dependency from open.-vm-tools to open-vm-tools-desktop. Instead the right solution is to move the symlink to open-vm-desktop as well. This is old - way back in 2014 2:9.4.6-1770165-2 moved the man page for example. It always works vice versa as the -desktop package depends on the base. ** Changed in: open-vm-tools (Ubuntu) Status: New => Triaged -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1807441 Title: dangling symlink /usr/bin/vmware-user To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-vm-tools/+bug/1807441/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
