commit d79cc9dcc1000811ed0f8495683baae5ae3336d9
Author: Christian Ehrhardt <christian.ehrhardt@canonical.com>

    d/control: fix postinst missing lsmod/modprobe
    
    Upgrades on open-vm-desktop can trigger errors like the following:
    /var/lib/dpkg/info/open-vm-tools-desktop.postinst: 5:
    /var/lib/dpkg/info/open-vm-tools-desktop.postinst: lsmod: not found
    /var/lib/dpkg/info/open-vm-tools-desktop.postinst: 6:
    /var/lib/dpkg/info/open-vm-tools-desktop.postinst: modprobe: not found
    
    The reason is that kmod isn't a dependency of open-vm-tools-desktop and
    could be missing e.g. if you installed it in a system container.
    Once might discuss how useful open-vm-tools-desktop is in that
    environment but a n issue to fix none the less.
