[Bug 815089] Re: package open-vm-dkms 2010.02.23-236320-1 ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: open-vm-tools kernel module failed to build

[Serge Hallyn]

Thanks for taking the time to submit this bug.

You are running on a backported 2.6.38 kernel.  The open-vm-dkms package
compiles kernel modules which are very sensitive to ever-changing kernel
versions, so the stock lucid package cannot be made to compile for
future kernels.

I do believe a backport of open-vm-tools (see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports) to match the kernel
backports would be very appropriate.  Submitting a request for that
would seem like a good idea.

** Changed in: open-vm-tools (Ubuntu)
