package open-vm-dkms 2010.06.16-268169-3ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: open-vm-tools kernel module failed to build

[Eric Seidel]

Binary package hint: open-vm-tools

I attempted to install the VMWare client tools after a fresh installation of 11.04alpha3 in VMWare Fusion 3.1.2. I believe the VMWare tools were already installed, so I'm not sure if the driver package I was prompted to install was a duplicate or something.
