Public bug reported: As per reported in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-vm- tools/+bug/1000344, this also affects Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS (Precise Pangolin).
If I understand the LTS policy correctly, this should be fixed for precise. As otherwise, the implication is that LTS users should upgrade off of the LTS release if they want a working package. I understand if this is considered a duplicate bug. However, as it describe the problem for precise/LTS, and on an assumption that the "Fix Released" status has moved anyone on, I'm taking that chance. ** Affects: open-vm-tools (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to open-vm-tools in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1214722 Title: open-vm-dkms 2011.12.20-562307-0ubuntu1: open-vm-tools kernel module failed to build [error: implicit declaration of function ‘d_alloc_root’] (bug 100344 also affects precise) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-vm-tools/+bug/1214722/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
