Bug Description
[Impact]
* In the past a lack of updated open-vm-tools versions was found fatal
and therefore we agreed to regularly backport those to the latest LTS.
This is backporting the recent version 11.2.5 to Focal/Groovy.
[Test Case]
* Test open-vm-tools done by VMWare QA Team as agreed for these
backports.
[Where Problems could occur]
* This has the usual regression potential of a new version upgrade and
therefore is higher than a usual SRU. But as agreed int he past to
support new (virtual) hardware open-vm-tools shall regularly be
backported. I suggest keeping it somewhat longer in proposed than usual
just to be on the safe side.
* This time there is one worth to mention as we have to make some
tradeoff for https:/
We can only decide between keeping a non-user-fixable issue in the
release OR to cause potential issues after the upgrade for some
specific setups (17-63 interfaces). But the latter case can be
fixed by the user via https:/
and therefore we chose that path of the tradeoff.
[Other Info]
* This is a practice for or quite a while (almost three years now), see:

The request back then came from the community and the decision back then was between VMWare and Ubuntu. VMWare QA Team since then does the qualification of these uploads as we (I) don't have a matrix of Host versions for that around.
Also see https:/
Under the accepted special SRU cases [1] this qualifies for #2 and #3 of [2].
