The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: MPlayer-suite: Depends: faad2 but it is not installable E: Broken packages Any ideas here?

I think I have every repository under the sun (at least those I have been able to find and add without breaking the 299 line length) and when I try to install Mplayer it tells me: You can also get faad from the packman site: http://packman.links2linux.org/?action=287
You can also add packman to yast: add as http packman.iu-bremen.de suse/9.3 Then you can add the packages using add/remove programs -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 "The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners." -Ernst Jan Plugge

What suse version, use http://linux01.gwdg.de/apt4rpm/home.html#contents to find apt component that will deliver the faad2 rpm. -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless

There is no faad2 in suse82: 8.2-i386/base $ zgrep faad contlist.bz2 faad-devel;2.0-1.guru.suse82;i686;suser-guru faad-xmms;2.0-1.guru.suse82;i686;suser-guru faad;2.0-1.guru.suse82;i686;suser-guru You might as well remove the Mplayer-suite package. It's nothing more than a meta package pulling in other packages. -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless

There is no faad2 in suse82:
Thanks Richard, I had actually already checked the contents, seen that there was no faad2 for 8.2, and tried installing faad (poor me) and linking faad2 to faad to see whether that would do the trick :) It didn't. I actually didn't know that Mplayer-suite was that, but it was dead handy, it is what I have installed in every other installation (funningly enough I keep on installing newer versions of Suse for other people and I never get to upgrade my desktop). I actually uninstalled MPlayer and installed it again with apt and that did the trick of installing the plugins I was wanting. Apt is always nice :) Sergio -- Less is more or less more -- Y_Plentyn on #LinuxGER
