Description:
After installing open-vm-tools using `pacman -Sy open-vm-tools`, the following error occurs while attempting to start open-vm-tools:

/usr/bin/vmtoolsd: error while loading shared libraries: libgmodule-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

This can be solved by running `pacman -Sy glib2`. It seems that glib2 needs to be added as a dependency for this package.

Additional info:
* package version: 2009.05.22-2

Steps to reproduce:
$pacman -Sy open-vm-tools
$/etc/rc.d/open-vm-tools start

:: Starting Open Virtual Machine Tools [BUSY]
/usr/bin/vmtoolsd: error while loading shared libraries: libgmodule-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[FAIL]

$pacman -Sy glib2
$/etc/rc.d/open-vm-tools start

:: Starting Open Virtual Machine Tools [DONE]
