Hi Pengpeng, the latest version in Ubuntu actually has this dependency still.
debian/open-vm-tools.service:6:Before=cloud-init-local.service That is version 2:10.3.0-0ubuntu4 in Disco and is the same for all 10.3 backports for now. We will port and backport the 10.3.5 version later this development cycle, but sneak peeking at the just appeared 2:10.3.5-1 in Debian shows the same is true there as well. No changes other than merging with recent upstream. I assume you got your open-vm-tools from another source? If so it would be interesting which one that is? And if you happen to know where, please file the same bug there and let us know the reference to the bug here. To help you finding where things come from you can run "dpkg -S" and "apt-cache policy". For example in most recent ubuntu that looks like this: root@d:~# dpkg -S /lib/systemd/system/open-vm-tools.service open-vm-tools: /lib/systemd/system/open-vm-tools.service root@d:~# apt-cache policy open-vm-tools open-vm-tools: Installed: 2:10.3.0-0ubuntu3 Candidate: 2:10.3.0-0ubuntu3 Version table: *** 2:10.3.0-0ubuntu3 500 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu disco/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status For Ubuntu as-is this report is invalid as we still have the dependency that you are missing. ** Changed in: open-vm-tools (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1803939 Title: cloud-init.service dependency is missing on 10.3.5 open-vm-tools service To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-vm-tools/+bug/1803939/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
