Source: open-vm-tools
Version: 2:9.4.6-1770165-8
Severity: normal

Hi.

Apparently, open-vm-tools once contained the file
/etc/xdg/autostart/vmware-user.desktop but no longer in the current version.

However, that config file isn't cleaned up properly using the correct
dh helper functions.
Please do that with one of the upcoming next versions.


Worse, while the package contained:
/etc/xdg/autostart/vmware-user.desktop
it didn't contain
/etc/xdg/autostart
which has however been dropped from some other packages,
so dpkg fails to remove that dir on upgrade to jessie:
Unpacking open-vm-tools (2:9.4.6-1770165-8) over 
(2:8.8.0+2012.05.21-724730-1+nmu2) ...^M
dpkg: warning: unable to delete old directory '/etc/xdg/autostart': Directory 
not empty^M

So in addition, please check whether that dir still belongs to some
other package and if not, remove it if empty.
Otherwise that cruft would live on forever on all legacy systems.


Further, please consider using piuparts in the future to avoid
such issues.

Cheers,
Chris.
