Description Bob Goddard 2023-06-09 13:54:05 UTC 
Just installed 15.5 within a VB guest.

And as I searched, I find that VMWare tools are installed.

Come on guys, this should just not happen.

it does not install on my 15.5 machines

The only thing that has vmware comes fron the X11 package

Reporter did not follow up, and seems to just be filing one-shot support request rather than defects. closing
