Comment 29 for bug 1944946

TBH @John - I'm tempted to do this upload to Impish now for all the inbound deadlines.
Chances are quite high that this will be the right solution and today (Oct 7th) is the final freeze for 21.10 (https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/impish-indri-release-schedule/18540).

Since this issue is severe for deployment and open-vm-tools it is a release critical bug that needs to go in before the release is ready.

But also it is seeded, so uploading this later will force us to re-build the RC ISOs/Images and to re-start testing.

I can either
a) wait and surely break & reset the 21.10 release once we have that confirmation
or
b) upload this quite likely fix now, and only if we spot issues re-upload a modification

Please continue to push on the vrops team, but clearly (b) should in any case be better for everyone, especially if it is confirmed to be the right fix.

Therefore I'll mark the bug accordingly and do the upload ...
