## Description:

This update for open-vm-tools fixes the following issues:

  * Ensure vmtoolsd.service and vgauthd.service are set to enabled by default.
    Do this by removing vmblock-fuse.service from the %pre section in the spec
    file. vmblock-fuse.service still remains in the %pre desktop section
    (bsc#1237180).
  * remove unused pcre build dependency

  * Ensure vmtoolsd.service, vgauthd.service, and vmblock-fuse.service are set
    to enabled by default (bsc#1237180).
