Yeah, the enabled state remains even after removing (with --purge) the packages
again:
vmware@debian:~$ ls -l
/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/run-vmblock\\x2dfuse.mount
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 45 Apr 20 17:31
/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/run-vmblock\x2dfuse.mount ->
/lib/systemd/system/run-vmblock\x2dfuse.mount
vmware@debian:~$ ls
When I remove the symlink and install the packages again, it won't be set:
vmware@debian:~$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb

So nothing has changed :-(.

Hm,
looks like the mount unit is enabled now, but not started after installing.
Actually, I am not sure if the enabled state is still there from my previous
test, because I do not see it being enabled in the output below, whereas I do
see it for vmtoolsd and vgauth:
vmware@debian:~$ ls *.deb
open-vm-tools_10.1.5-5055683-4_amd64.deb
open-vm-tools-desktop_10.1.5-5055683-4_amd64.deb

Hi Oliver,
hi Norbert,
please test the packages from
https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__shell.bzed.at_-7Ebzed_.publish_2017-2D04-2D21-2D4a17FnEPKxw_&d=DwIC-g&c=uilaK90D4TOVoH58JNXRgQ&r=oHeYwLSPkRE9YQPISb_awkWjWigW3oPkIDc-ePsrBjY&m=jepfmU6mpuzYaX4nuc56cIxYjH6GcyL3zgmmnhpMdGc&s=z_3eLUmkTB917kSuUj6a2R7ChkLIM_EI2Yxkp2NIRsA&e=
they work for me. If nobody complains I'll upload them during the weekend.
Best regards,
Bernd
