[Bug 1270619] Re: open-vm-tools configure error

[Michael Schaller]

I have the same problem. Here are some more details and how to manually
fix it:

$ dpkg -s open-vm-tools
Package: open-vm-tools
Status: install ok half-configured
Version: 2:9.4.0-1280544-5
Config-Version: 2013.09.16-1328054-0ubuntu6
...

$ sudo dpkg --configure open-vm-tools
Setting up open-vm-tools (2:9.4.0-1280544-5) ...
update-initramfs: deferring update (trigger activated)
update-rc.d: error: expected NN after start
...

$ grep 'update-rc.d open-vm-tools' /var/lib/dpkg/info/open-vm-tools.postinst
Saucy:
	update-rc.d open-vm-tools start 38 2 3 4 5 . stop 38 0 1 6 . >/dev/null
Trusty:
	update-rc.d open-vm-tools start . 2 3 4 5 . stop . 0 1 6 . >/dev/null

After reverting the update-rc.d call in /var/lib/dpkg/info/open-vm-
tools.postinst:

$ sudo /etc/init.d/open-vm-tools stop
 * Stopping open-vm guest daemon vmtoolsd  

$ sudo dpkg --configure open-vm-tools
