The package vmware-server needs to be reinstalled, but I can’t find an archive for it

I recently tried installing a .deb packagae I had made by converting an rpm. Synaptic package manager however errored and since then won’t open. Every time I started synaptic I was getting this error:
The package vmware-server needs to be reinstalled, but I can’t find an archive for it
This command solved it and will force the removal of my incosistent package:
dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq vmware-server
