Package: open-vm-tools
Version: 2:13.0.0-1~ppa1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
I wanted to backport open-vm-tools 13.0.0-1 to Ubuntu 24.04.
A small patch was needed to change lib/ to usr/lib so that the file "99-vmware-
scsi-udev.rules" is found.
The build error was:
chmod 0644 debian/*/lib/udev/rules.d/99-vmware-scsi-udev.rules
chmod: cannot access 'debian/*/lib/udev/rules.d/99-vmware-scsi-udev.rules': No
such file or directory
make[1]: *** [debian/rules:34: override_dh_auto_install] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>'
make: *** [debian/rules:13: binary] Error 2
dpkg-buildpackage: error: fakeroot debian/rules binary subprocess returned exit
status 2
Would be great if this change was added. Thanks!
