VMware packages fail to start after upgrade
-
AFter upgrade from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4, both vmware-guestd and vmware-kmod refuse to start. Manually clicking the start button leads to an endless spinner and this in the logs:
May 5 08:37:28 php-fpm 37584 /index.php: The command '/usr/local/etc/rc.d/vmware-kmod status' returned exit code '1', the output was 'Checking vmmemctl kernel module: not loaded Checking vmxnet kernel module: not loaded Checking vmblock kernel module: not loaded'
May 5 08:37:28 php-fpm 37584 /index.php: The command '/usr/local/etc/rc.d/vmware-kmod status' returned exit code '1', the output was 'Checking vmmemctl kernel module: not loaded Checking vmxnet kernel module: not loaded Checking vmblock kernel module: not loaded'

Reinstalling the package seems to have fixed it.
