Bug Description

As per reported in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-vm-tools/+bug/1000344, this also affects Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS (Precise Pangolin).

If I understand the LTS policy correctly, this should be fixed for precise. As otherwise, the implication is that LTS users should upgrade off of the LTS release if they want a working package.

I understand if this is considered a duplicate bug. However, as it describe the problem for precise/LTS, and on an assumption that the "Fix Released" status has moved anyone on, I'm taking that chance.
