[mythtv-users] Need help installing mplayer

I can't seem to get mplayer to install on ubuntu.  If I do an:

apt-get install mplayer-386... I get:

 sudo apt-get install mplayer-386
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-386: Depends: libdirectfb-0.9-20 but it is not installable
E: Broken packages


However, I have a newer version of the libdirectfb package, I actually
have libdirectfb-0.9-22.  Any clues on how to get mplayer in there? 
I've currently got:

# Christian Marillat's packages (mplayer, lame)
 deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ sarge main
#deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ etch main
#deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ sid main

and I've tried the etch and sid ones, but that didn't make much of a difference.

Thanks!
Matt
