Package: open-vm-dkms
Version: 2:9.2.3-1031360-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

Upgrade to Linux 3.8.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

I installed the Linx kernel 3.8 and the related headers. dkms then tried to
build the modules for that kernel and failed (make.log is attached). As
problems w/ the compiler have been solved in this release (see #701331) I
assume a kernel imcompatibility. Interestingly the build for Linux 3.2 was
successful.

When using the open-vm-dkms package from unstable the build fails too, but
we have a different error message (make.log already gone unfortunately).

Regards,
  Hilmar
