I am having a similar problem when install via adept. I'm running Kubuntu 6.06 LTS Dapper Drake. Though vmplayer actually does now work, the install is listed as failing and actually prevents any other updates from being applied. So my first question is how can I get adept to ignore what it construes as problems with vmware-player install. I've tried to uninstall and purge, but since the cleanup script fails I seem stuck in this loop.
More info:
I believe I got into this situation in the first place because I attempted to install vmplayer on kernel 2.6.15-26 without any modules for that kernel. After getting module loading errors, I did some searches and saw the recommended approach was to install 2.6.15-23 and the associated vmware modules. Then I attempted to reinstall vmplayer and ran into the above issue.
The full set of log messages is below:

Additionally, on another machine I was accustomed to running vmware-config.pl, but noticed it's not included in the vmware-player package. Is there something else I should be doing/installing?
Thanks.
