cannot install mplayer-586 on sarge stable
hi
I cannot install mplayer-586 on my debian sarge stable:Code:debian:~# apt-get install mplayer-586 Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that the package is simply not installable and a bug report against that package should be filed. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: mplayer-586: Depends: mplayer E: Broken packages
update && upgrade doesn't help !Code:debian:~# dpkg -P --force-all mplayer dpkg - warning: ignoring request to remove mplayer which isn't installed. debian:~# dpkg -P --force-all mplayer-586 dpkg - warning: ignoring request to remove mplayer-586 which isn't installed.

what MikeTbob said. If you just installed mplayer by itself, it used to tell you to pick between 386, 586, k7, etc...
