Summary | 0003426: open-vm-tools missing from repo | ||||
Description | The Kali open-vm-tools and open-vm-tools-desktop packages are missing from the Kali repo as of sometime in July. Another user has metioned the same in the forums under the sticky Vmware Tools thread. apt/sources is set to: deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main non-free coontrib I'm pulling from http://kali.localmsp.org/kali kali-rolling InRelease | ||||
Steps To Reproduce | Fresh install of Kali Rolling | ||||
I copied the package from Debian unstable and rebuilt the binary packages so that they are installable. This is now fixed. |
|
Looks like its gone again: [2016-11-11] open-vm-tools REMOVED from testing (Debian testing watch) |
|
You will need to import them and likely hold them in the repository for some time. The core problem is the OPenSSL migration, and an FTBFS. See https://packages.qa.debian.org/o/open-vm-tools/news/20161111T163922Z.html for the removal reasons (the ongoing OpenSSL 1.1.0 migration is causing hell for everyone) |
|
The packages came back a long time ago. |
