Debian10安装vmware tools时报错:Setup is unable to find the “depmod” program on your machine. Please ...

VMware Workstation安装完Debian系统后，安装vmware tools的时候不停的报错：

Setup is unable to find the "depmod" program on your machine. Please make sure 
it is installed. Do you want to specify the location of this program by hand? 
[yes] Use of uninitialized value $gOption{"default"} in numeric eq (==) at ./vmware-install.pl line 866.

一番尝试后发现是没有在root账号下操作的缘故

bfx@debian:~/下载/vmware-tools-distrib$ su
密码：
root@debian:/home/bfx/下载/vmware-tools-distrib# sudo ./vmware-install.pl 

成功安装

事实证明即使在root账户下，安装的时候依然要使用sudo命令。
