Bug Description

Binary package hint: vmware-player

When installing vmware player, the config script is stoping on error, it can't load vmware modules, but manually, those modules can't be loaded also ! I've checkup in the current /lib/modules directory, and there are two modules, I don't know why they are not reconized.... All steps are below :

Il est nécessaire de prendre 0o dans les archives.
Après dépaquetage, 0o d'espace disque supplémentaires seront utilisés.
Paramétrage de vmware-player (1.0.2-2) ...
Now configuring VMware Player. (This may take some time...)
Configuring a bridged network for vmnet0.

Configuring a NAT network for vmnet8.

Probing for an unused private subnet (this can take some time)...

The subnet 192.168.208.0/255.255.255.0 appears to be unused.

The file /etc/vmware/vmnet8/dhcpd/dhcpd.conf that this program was about to
install already exists. Overwrite? [yes] Use of uninitialized value in chomp at /usr/bin/vmware-config-network.pl line 929.
