Suse 8.0 I came across the libGLcore dependency problem earlier in the year when installing ksendfax with apt-get. It was resolved by downloading and installing the latest Nvidia drivers. # rpm -Fvh NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-2960.suse80.i386.rpm NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-2960.suse80.i386.rpm Brian Marr On Tuesday 10 September 2002 05:46, Richard Bos wrote:

I tried to install MPlayer using apt-get. When i try this i get the following:
linux:/home/daskas # apt-get install MPlayer Processing File Dependencies... Done 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:
Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies: MPlayer: Depends: libGLcore.so.1 but it is not installable Depends: libvgagl.so.1 but it is not installable E: Sorry, broken packages
What package provides the above libraries?
libvgagl.so.1: richard@dar:~> apt-file search libvgagl.so.1 shlibs5 svgalib richard@dar:~> apt-file list svgalib | grep libvgagl svgalib usr/lib/libvgagl.a svgalib usr/lib/libvgagl.so svgalib usr/lib/libvgagl.so.1 svgalib usr/lib/libvgagl.so.1.4.3 richard@dar:~> apt-file list shlibs5 | grep libvgagl shlibs5 usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib/libvgagl.so shlibs5 usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib/libvgagl.so.1 shlibs5 usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib/libvgagl.so.1.3.0
They are both provided by the "base" component of the apt repository. I guess you left this one out of the /etc/apt/sources.list file.
libGLcore.so.1: This one is more difficult. The production machine that build the rpm is not default machine. It may have for that reason pulled in a dependency to the GLcore library, which I guess is not needed for mplayer. The library is provided (on my system) by the NVIDIA_GLX package (guess my video card ;) This dependency can only be solved by rebuilding the rpm, on a production machine without nvidia card....
I now use the MPlayer 0.90pre4 which i installed from source without problems. Just curious to understand whats happening here.
Thank you!
