  • 1.  Change request for vmware-open-vm-tools-xorg-utilities RPM

    Posted Sep 08, 2010 03:33 PM

    This RPM creates a hardlink to /etc/fonts/fonts.conf in /usr ... all our installations have /usr in a separate partition (and I'm pretty sure we're not the only ones) so that fails ... I think a symlink would also work?

    =============================================

    Installing: vmware-open-vm-tools-xorg-utilities-8.3.2-292861.sles11sp1

    Installation of vmware-open-vm-tools-xorg-utilities-8.3.2-292861.sles11sp1 failed:

    ln: creating hard link `/usr/lib/vmware-tools/libconf/etc/fonts/fonts.conf' => `/etc/fonts/fonts.conf': Invalid cross-device link

    error: %post(vmware-open-vm-tools-xorg-utilities-8.3.2-292861.sles11sp1.x86_64) scriptlet failed, exit status 1

    Abort, retry, ignore? (a): i

    =============================================

    Can someone of the OSP-team comment on this?

    Ruben.

    Hello,

    You may also need to go to the Open Source community for open-vm-tools to submit this issue. VMware employees may or may not visit this forum regularly. You can also open a Support Request from your standard support avenue as well.
