This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 26 development cycle. Changing version to '26'.
Fixed it as http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/open-vm-tools.git/commit/?id=5ecc079e0d892dcde892e6e4cc0ae84a10bdb248 patch. This patch is no longer needed with open-vm-tools 10.1.x. So, latest package in Rawhide fixes it as well, https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=862961.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 26 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 26. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '26'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 26 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
