The installation or upgrade from VMware Workstation 15.0.2 pro to 15.5 on a linux host (debian 10) fails with the error:
> Extracting VMware Installer...done.
> Uninstalling VMware Player Application 15.1.0bora/lib/string/str.c:284 Buffer too small

The installation of the previous version 15.0.2 on the same host works fine.
Does anybody have some hints for me please?
Thanks for your answer - indeed, the setting of the locale did the trick (I use a german environment).
For VMware Team :
Please make correction to version : 15.5.0 and delete this version 15.5.0
Rename new one in 15.5.1
Thanks
I can confirm, that I successfully could upgrade VMWare Workstation Pro 15.1.0 to Version 15.5.0 under the host system openSUSE Leap 15.1.
The command:
Mozart:/tmp # export LC_ALL=C
followed by:
Mozart:/tmp # ./VMware-Workstation-Full-15.1.0-13591040.x86_64.bundle
did the job.
However I decided from now on to always keep a copy of the installation file of the last working VMWare version on my operating system.
