Did you build the filesystem yourself or used the pre-built one
provided by ARM? The pre-built one doesn't have the dpkg database
initialised and this is why it fails.

You have other options: (1) you might already have madplay in the
pre-built filesystem, (2) extract it with 'dpkg -x' in the /tmp
directory on the platform and run it from there or (3) re-build the
cramfs filesystem with madplay extracted on your PC (with 'dpkg
-x'). There is another option - use a writable flash filesystem like
JFFS2.
