With the (total absence of) information you provided in your post, it is hard to guess what might be wrong

So sorry (I know better than to post with no details

)

Ok - I'm using N810 running the newest OS2008 (50-2). I did have an older version of mplayer I originally attempted to update to the new version using Maemo Application Manager. When I did this - I received a message "unable to install" - yet mplayer was listed in the installed applications list but listed as broken.

So I then uninstalled this and attempted to install it again from the list of packages in App Manager - still same result. I then went to the mplayer garage page and clicked on .install - still same result.

Red pill mode doesn't give me any conflicts or missing packages.

I'm a dork & I forgot about apt-get... Just did apt-get install and got the following errors:

mplayer: depends: libmad0 (>= 0.15.1b) but it is not going to be installed

I'm also getting ogg dependency errors for these but they aren't your fault - I've got broken ogg too; gstreamer0.10-plugins-base-ogg & gstreamer0.10-plugins-good-speex & gstreamer-0.10-plugins-bad-ivorbis
