[Bug 1325943] Re: open vm tools cannot be installed

Marking this as a duplicate of bug #1083719.  open-vm-tools with an HWE
kernel (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack) is broken.
You are running with the HWE kernel from Raring.

As an alternative to 1083719 if you can upgrade to a Saucy or Trusty HWE
kernel you could try the new open-vm-tools-lts-trusty packages which are
being introduced in bug #1275656.  That package is a backport from
Trusty but it requires a Saucy HWE kernel or newer; your Raring (3.8)
kernel is insufficient.
