Hi release-team,
I'd like to upload a fix for open-vm-tools to proposed-updates which
actually allows to recognize buster.
`lsb_release -sd` currently prints
Debian GNU/Linux 10 (buster)
but the current implementation in open-vm-tools expects 10. in the
output.
I'd assume that this issue will be fixed with the pointrelease anyway,
as the lsb_release output should change to 10.1, but I think it makes
sense to fix it, just in case people do partial upgrades.
Diff is attached.
Thanks,
Bernd
