Devede cannot find mplayer

[actionparsnip]

Binary package hint: devede

Had to also run:
sudo ln -s /usr/share/pixmaps/devede.svg /usr/share/devede/devede.svg

to quosh a warning.

Devede cannot find the following programs:
mplayer
DeVeDe needs them in order to work. If you
want to use DeVeDe, you must install all of
them.

You're using this mplayer package:

mplayer-nogui 2:1.0~rc3+svn20091207-0ubuntu1~karmic~nvidiavdpauppa11

which is not available from Ubuntu archives.

Setting this as invalid.

[actionparsnip (andrew-woodhead666)]

Can I have a solution then please, for those whom do the same thing.

[actionparsnip (andrew-woodhead666)]

You arent wrong though:

andy@fileserver:~$ dpkg -l | grep mplayer
ii mplayer 2:1.0~rc3+svn20091207-0ubuntu1~karmic~nvidiavdpauppa11 movie player for Unix-like systems
ii mplayer-nogui 2:1.0~rc3+svn20091207-0ubuntu1~karmic~nvidiavdpauppa11 movie player for Unix-like systems
ii mplayer-skins 3 Skins for the Mplayer package
ii smplayer 0.6.8-2 complete front-end for MPlayer
ii smplayer-themes 0.1.19.dfsg-2 complete front-end for MPlayer - icon themes
ii smplayer-translations 0.6.8-2 complete front-end for MPlayer - translation

[actionparsnip (andrew-woodhead666)]

FYI, this is a CLEAN install of lucid so the repo needs updating and the bug still stands

[actionparsnip (andrew-woodhead666)]

in closing an update has resolved this and I had done zero effort on my part, so YES it was a bug but is now solved.

Marking this as invalid was a bit short sighted don't you think?

[Alessio Treglia (quadrispro)]

No, because we work on bugs reported against only Ubuntu packages.

You are free to add and use any external repository but we take care only of Ubuntu packages.

[actionparsnip (andrew-woodhead666)]

I didnt add any extra repositories between it working and not working. This was a clean install of lucid and mplayer did not work, then overnight it did which my cron'd update job must have fixed. It was a bug but now it isn't which I have marked as fixed released

andy@fileserver:~$ dpkg -l | grep mplayer
ii mplayer 2:1.0~rc3+svn20091207-0ubuntu1~karmic~nvidiavdpauppa11 movie player for Unix-like systems
ii mplayer-nogui 2:1.0~rc3+svn20091207-0ubuntu1~karmic~nvidiavdpauppa11 movie player for Unix-like systems
ii mplayer-skins 3 Skins for the Mplayer package
ii smplayer 0.6.8-2 complete front-end for MPlayer
ii smplayer-themes 0.1.19.dfsg-2 complete front-end for MPlayer - icon themes
ii smplayer-translations 0.6.8-2 complete front-end for MPlayer - translation

Strange how its the same packages too.

andy@fileserver:~$ dpkg -l | grep devede
ii devede 3.15.2-0ubuntu1 simple application to create Video DVDs

oh well, issue over anyway but it was a bug is my point.
