This sounds like a bug in the ubuntu packaging (https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Packaging/Ubuntu), can you please log a bug with them too?

I've been testing this driver as part of the work to charm up the vmware integration for 14.04; however I've not hit this specific problem - there where some other issues but those have now all been SRU'ed.

Can you confirm that this is still a problem with the latest 14.04 updates?

Thanks!
