<![CDATA[Open VM Tools]]>Very nice to have the update feature in the Alpha builds but Open VM Tools never seems work after an update.

Tried rebooting with no luck.  Same with re-installing from the GUI.

It always requires an uninstall and install to be detected as "Running (Guest managed)".

It was in the obsoletedfiles list. Probably ok now, but will take a new snapshot to confirm.

That fixed it but I think you need another one excluded:


Starting vmware_guestd.
Shared object "libgmodule-2.0.so.0" not found, required by "vmtoolsd"
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/vmware-guestd.sh: WARNING: failed to start vmware_guestd

/usr/local/lib/libglib-2.0.so -> /usr/local/lib/libglib-2.0.so.1
/usr/local/lib/libglib-2.0.so.1 -> /usr/local/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0.4400.1

or some SONAME fsckup there, no idea.

There was some bug with stale symlinks being left over on 2.2.x, maybe too many of them are now being nuked instead.

"pkg install -f glib-2.44.1_1"

I installed my PFSense from the release iso on 11/26 and updated from there to the latest as of this writing with no correct. I even tried to re-install the package with no luck from the web UI.

(If you have a different error that the one shown there, just file a new bug.)

I can't find any obvious errors produced during the update.  Maybe I'm not looking in the right place.
