I have a very similar problem. When installing vmware-player from feisty repos, I get the following:
Starting VMware services: Virtual machine monitor done Virtual ethernet done Bridged networking on /dev/vmnet0 failed Host-only networking on /dev/vmnet1 (background) done Host-only networking on /dev/vmnet8 (background) done NAT service on /dev/vmnet8 done invoke-rc.d: initscript vmware-player, action "start" failed. dpkg: error processing vmware-player (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 And it will do that everytime I use apt-get to install or remove packages. -- vmware-player: post-installation script returns error code 1 https://launchpad.net/bugs/85992 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
