Description Tobias Birkefeld univentionstaff 2015-12-14 11:10:08 CET
Not possible to install the package open-vm-tools in a clean UCS 4.1.
Following error occurred:

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 open-vm-tools : Depends: libxml-security-c16 but it is not installable
                 Recommends: ethtool but it is not installable
                 Recommends: zerofree but it is not installable

Workaround:
Activate unmaintained repository.

Solution:
The packages libxml-security-c16, ethtool and zerofree must be shipped in the maintained repository.

Only "libxml-security-c16" is a hard dependency, "ethtool" and "zerofree" are only recommended:
