Running ovftool 4.2.0 on PhotonOs 2.0 fails to deploy .ova files #764
Description
I've installed ovftool 4.2.0 on photonos. When I try to deploy an .ova file it fails. Deploying on .ovf file works. I run into this issue when I try to install the vcsa from phontonos onto my ESXi host using the vcsa-cli-installer, which runs ovftool to deploy the .ova.
