Debian无法安装vmware tools报错: Setup is unable to find the “depmod”……

当我兴致冲冲以为快要安装好vmware tools时，敲完./vmware-install.pl竟然报错：

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.

没法继续顺利安装

查了很多资料都没有找到对应的办法，切到root用户也不能安装

后来在命令前面加了sudo ./vmware-install.pl  成功了

是root用户，安装的时候依旧要前面加上sudo命令，不然没法安装成功，一直会卡在这个界面
