You have reinstalled, but have you first UNinstalled? Have you tried:
[CODE]sudo apt purge vmware[CODE]?
Of course, you will need a backup of all your guest OS. I am assuming by what you said that Debian is your host OS. If not, you probably need to update something within VMware. I only use Virtualbox, and when I update it, I have to update the Virtualbox Guest Additions.
