Seems yum for some reason tried to get the akmod-open-vm-tools from the
release repo for F10, then a up2date open-vm-tools from the updates
repo, which tracked in kmod-open-vm-tools-2.6.27.21-170.2.56.fc10.i686
from updates.

I don't exactly know why, but after cleaning caches and everything works
as expected:

I guess there was a problem (a missing akmod-open-vm-tools I suppose),
but guess it was fixed by the new packages I pushed (partly(¹)) earlier
today.

(¹) I need to explain that in more detail a different time; the (go to
2.6.29 in testing, then ship a new 2.6.27 kernel in stable complicated
things a lot)
