I did. It only shows that files are there: /etc/pam.d/vmtoolsd /usr/bin/vmtoolsdBy the way, there is also /etc/vmware-tools folderThis rather highlights why I like Arch's package manager (Pacman.) more than APT. Pacman features a command (pacman -Qo <file>) that explicitly checks a file you specify for package ownership.dpkg --search ${filename}
Thank you: dpkg --search /usr/bin/vmtoolsd dpkg-query: no path found matching pattern /usr/bin/vmtoolsd dpkg --search /etc/pam.d/vmtoolsd dpkg-query: no path found matching pattern /etc/pam.d/vmtoolsd dpkg --search vmtoolsd dpkg-query: no path found matching pattern *vmtoolsd*
