i don't think mplayer has ever officially been in the debian

now completely GPL too), but i don't think it's yet made its way
into debian in any case. *however*, mplayer ships with a
./debian directory, letting debian users create their own debs
from the latest cvs source, and i think there are a few pre-made
debs on the net as well.
you can add
deb http://marillat.free.fr/ stable main
to /etc/apt/sources.list
and do
# apt-get install mplayer
I've never gotten this to work.. In my sources I have:
deb http://marillat.free.fr/ testing main
but apt-get install mplayer returns
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
E: Couldn't find package mplayer
any ideas?
