Errors were encountered while processing:

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
My machine is a bit of an unholy mess: I installed the
generated vmware-server package but I already had a
non-debian package version of vwmare-workstation installed.
That might be related. I removed vmware-workstation before
trying to uninstall this package (so probably in the wrong
order)
