Package vmware-workstation failing to validate windows tools

When updating to vmware-workstation 17.6.1-2 this morning, I am seeing a failure to validate the windows guest tools package that is bundled:

==> Validating source files with sha256sums...
    VMware-Workstation-17.6.1-24319023.x86_64.bundle.tar ... Passed

This also seems to have been raised on aur package page: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/vmware-workstation but the package has not yet been updated.

Re: Package vmware-workstation failing to validate windows tools

The PKGBUILD has been updated to fix this, nearly 2 weeks ago. Make sure you have the latest PKGBUILD, and redownload that file if it's still a problem.
