Bug Description

I just fixed #572335 but the build failed. It has nothing to do with my fix and someone over at the ubuntu-motu IRC said I should report the bug here.

You can find the build log and everything here (i386 and amd64):

This problem should be fixed shortly (like in a week or so, depends on when I get my patch).

I'm currently working on this bug (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-vm-tools/+bug/776103), when I push it we'll have a fix for this problem (as well as packaging that compiles with the Oneiric Kernel). The problem started within the last week or so, and it's because of GCC 4.6.x (it's kind of a common issue with GCC beginning in 4.6.0). My packaging proposal/push was delayed because of this issue, it was suppose to be out by now

So please be patient, the fix will be out ASAP

Do I need to re-submit my fix for #572335 now or will LP automatically try to build it with the new package?

Negative, I integrated it into my packaging. So you don't need to.
