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? 

I now use the MPlayer 0.90pre4 which i installed from source without
problems. Just curious to understand whats happening here.

Thank you!
