Problem:
the path of plugin libdeployPkgPlugin.so of open-vm-tools is changed and guest customization will fail for ubuntu 21.10 beta image
Description:
Ubuntu 21.10 have new open-vm-tools 11.3.0. with this new open-vm-tools, the plugin libdeployPkgPlugin.so is put to directory /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/open-vm-tools/plugins/vmsvc/.
In previous open-vm-tools version (such as 11.2.5), the the plugin libdeployPkgPlugin.so is put to directory /usr/lib/open-vm-tools/plugins/vmsvc/
The path change of plugin libdeployPkgPlugin.so will cause the guest customization failure. |
[Impact]
* The package correctly fixed a non multiarch path, but we missed
that some depending SW might have mad assumptions on the old paths.
One such SW is cloud-init which in certain cases now fails to detect
and configure vmware correctly.
* In the long run (next Debian and 22.04) we will keep only the new
paths. But for 21.10 time is too short and even more so for the SRUs
that we regularly do back to at least the last LTS.
There we want to mitigate the impact by adding a compat link on the
old path.
[Test Plan]
* TBD discussion ongoing
[Where problems could occur]
* Since we do not remove, but add a link (that exactly matches the
formerly used path) I'm not too concerned. The issue I can think of
would be e.g. security policies that prevent .so files to load through
symlinks or anything like that. But in that case still the upload
would not further degrade things, it would just not fix it.
Test wise this is all about guest customizations and VMware plugin and
VMware as usual will do checks for that when this is in verification.
[Other Info]
* Down the road we still want to drop that path, it is only added now to
temporarily mitigate such issues. Therefore we do NOT want to have that
in 22.04 for a long time, and will most likely drop it there soon to
spot further issues with it.
* For the same reason I'm also not uploading it to Debian via
https://salsa.debian.org/vmware-packaging-team/pkg-open-vm-tools/-/merge_requests/11

SRU fix it despite also having the cloud-init fix later on, since we do
not know which other SW might rely on that path.
