Workstation 15.5.6 will not install on Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS

my kernel is 5.4.0-42-generic

VMware-Player-15.5.6-16341506.x86_64.bundle (the free version) installer aborts as follows:

Extracting VMware Installer...done.

/tmp/tmp4t3ofyjx.vmis.env:4: DeprecationWarning: the imp module is deprecated in favour of importlib; see the module's documentation for alternative uses

  import imp

/tmp/vmis.GCBpAm/install/vmware-installer/vmis-launcher: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypto.so.1.0.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

In fact I am trying to update after 15.5.0 gave up on me.  MAKE reports

Make fails after 6 errors building the kernel, similar to [full log attached]
