Maybe I can help you guys here. If you are receiving this information when using dpkg then mplayer is removed from your system. That first field that says "RC" means that the package was removed, but configuration files left.

If dpkg --purge was used to remove the package, or the package was never installed, then the first two letters would be "un". If the package is installed, you would see "ii".

Another, more english way to view this, is using:

Code:
~$ dpkg --status xserver-xephyr
Package: xserver-xephyr
Status: unknown ok not-installed
Priority: optional
Section: x11
Pay attention to the status line... "not-installed". Evidently I don't have xserver-xephyr installed on my desktop. So those of you that are thinking mplayer did not remove from your system.. please try this command, or verify that your -l command says "rc" or "un". Either of these will indicated that yes, it has been removed.
