I have just installed open-vm-tools-lts-trusty version: 2:9.4.0-1280544-5ubuntu6~precise2 in place of an out-of-date version of VMware Tools and everything seems to be working fine except for these syslog messages every 30 seconds :

"vmsvc[....]: [ warning] [guestinfo] Failed to get vmstats."

Can anyone tell me if this bug matters?
Is it just annoying messages in syslog or is something really not working?
What do the syslog messages really mean?

Could this fix PLEASE be added to trusty as we're not permitted to use personal packages archives as an O/S code source?
