As far as I'm concerned this is a Fedora problem. I do not
automatically build VMware modules. I have always built them manually.
Anyway here is the output I see:
>>> Running post-transaction scriptlet:

>>> Non-critical error in post-transaction scriptlet:

Folks,
I have 2 issues with F40 and F40. One of them is frustrating the
other a genuine problem.
First the genuine problem. I have VMware installed on my system and
every time I install kernel updates the compilation of the vmmon and
vmnet VMware modules fail.
This is not a Fedora problem. External kernel modules are your problem.
Why don't you use kvm/qemu instead?
here is an excerpt of the issue:

On another system I download the VMware modules from
https://github.com/mkubecek/vmware-host-modules.git
and the apply the following patch
and the kernel builds without issues.
The reason I mention this error is that this failure occurs during
the kernel update and not when I try to build the VMware modules.
Then it's a problem with whatever setup you have that's automatically
building the vmware kernel module when the kernel is updated. Or else
whatever source you're using to build them from needs that patch.
It's unclear which build you're referring to.
