Hi,
After unsuccessful install of vmware-player, I tried to completely un-install it and install vmware-workstations.
However I received following error:

I can add that the same error occurred on my fresh installed machine. It is a similar machine (amd64).
So the previous installation of the viewer etc. has very probably nothing to do with the bug, but it could be an amd64 issue.
If you wish I can add details about my failed installation.
