Package `open-vm-tools' missing in pool

[Rüdiger Blach]

`jeos-8.04-rc-jeos-i386.iso' has package `open-vm-tools' not anymore.

The package page
http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/open-vm-tools
exists but the archive directory
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/o/open-vm-tools/
is empty.

Also Launchpad says:
'"open-vm-tools" does not exist in Ubuntu. Please choose a different package. ...'

I would like to use this package for virtual machines,
especially for time synchronization with VMware server.

Now also the package page is gone

http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=open-vm-tools&searchon=names&suite=all&section=all

But Debian's not

http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=open-vm-tools&searchon=names&suite=all&section=all

[Pascal De Vuyst (pascal-devuyst)]

That package has been removed due to alpha quality, see bug #217254.
