Description:

This update for open-vm-tools fixes the following issues:

Update to 10.3.0 (build 8931395)

  • Starting with 10.3.0, open-vm-tools builds with xmlsec1 by default (instead of building with xml-security). To revert to the old behavior and build with xml-security, use the option '--enable-xmlsecurity' for the ./configure command.

  • Remove vgauthd.service from the %pre and %post section in the spec file. This allows vmtoolsd.service to enable vgauthd if needed which creates the vmtoolsd.service.requires/vgauthd.service symlink. (bsc#1103868)
