Description:
The vm* modules fail to load with the force option enabled in modprobe.
This is probably related to the kmod update, but open-vm-tools could be fixed by removing -f from modprobe in the rc.d script.

I already tried a rebuild of open-vm-tools-modules, but that did not solve the problem.

Using linux-3.2.1-2, kmod-4-1, open-vm-tools-2011.12.20-1 and open-vm-tools-modules-2011.12.20-3

Steps to reproduce:
modprobe -f vmsync && echo ok || echo fail
modprobe vmsync && echo ok || echo fail
This task depends upon

Actually, the open-vm-tools-modules package needs a rebuild for the vmhgfs module to load.
Both issues are present, I can open a new bug for that if you prefer.
