[Bug 1301919] Re: package open-vm-tools 2:9.4.0-1280544-5ubuntu5 failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite '/etc/xdg/autostart/vmware-user.desktop', which is also in package open-vm-toolbox 2011.12.20-562307-0ubuntu1

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.

It seems clear to me that open-vm-tools in Trusty should Break/Replace
open-vm-toolbox (<< 2:0~) [or similar] to resolve this. I've confirmed
that the packages in the archive do conflict as your error message
described. But I haven't yet managed to reproduce your failure. Doing so
would help me verify my understanding and test the solution.

I'll carry on looking at this.
