Hi Christian,

We are certain that the SDMP plugin ./usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/open-vm-tools/plugins/vmsvc/libserviceDiscovery.so can be found and loaded since all the other vmsvc and vmusr plugins are successfully handled.

We are waiting on the vROps team
  - to run some smoke test(s) that use the libserviceDiscovery.so
  - to confirm that serviceDiscovery/scripts/* absolute paths have not escape into other applications as happened in the cloud-init case.

If there is an escape, the patch for the symbolic link

     /usr/lib/open-vm-tools ==> /usr/lib/<arch-rt>/open-vm-tools

would compensate for any path escape while that escape is fixed down stream.
