hello:

i am having an issue with vmware tools (installed are open-vm-tools & open-vm-tools-desktop) not updating in ubuntu 22.04.3 lts. v12.3.0 for these tools was identified as resolving vulnerabilites, but guest tools are not upgrading from 12.1.5.3 along with other guest system packages during apt updates.

any help would be much appreciated.

thanks, js
