Bug Description

gnome-mplayer is long dead upstream and it was removed from Debian. It's a technical debt in Ubuntu. Please consider gnome-mpv instead https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-mpv. It depends on mpv and it is actively maintained in Debian and upstream.

When the replace takes place, please remove the gnome-mplayer source from Ubuntu archives.
