[Bug 1893898] Re: open-vm-tools status is toolsNotInstalled after deploy cloud image groovy-server-cloudimg-amd64.ova

[Steve Langasek]

Hello vmware-gos-Yuhua, or anyone else affected,

Accepted livecd-rootfs into xenial-proposed. The package will build now
and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/livecd-
rootfs/2.408.64 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been
performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-
xenial to verification-done-xenial. If it does not fix the bug for you,
please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-
failed-xenial. In either case, without details of your testing we will
not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s)
fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in
-proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

Bug description:

  [Impact]

   * with groovy-server-cloudimg-amd64.ova daily build, when only deploy OVA and don't power on VM, the VMTools status is "toolsNotInstalled"
  But in fact, we have installed open-vm-tools.

  [Test Case]

   * build vmdk image and verify that buildlog now mentions emitting
  ddb.toolsVersion = "2147483647" field for the image. See
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-vm-
  tools/+bug/1893898/comments/12

  [Regression Potential]

   * The change affects Vagrant / VMware ova/vmdk formatted images,
  which all use modify_vmdk_header function.
