When I try to compile mplayer from source on my system, it exits with an
error message saying that the version of gcc installed on the system is
not supported by mplayer. And hence, the search for an alternative.
What about using .deb packages and dpkg?
Went that route, came upon a river called "dependency hell", drowned in
it!
Since you get a package broken error in apt, there could be a
possibility that your package downloaded into your
/var/cache/apt/archives is broken and since it exists, a new download
will not take place. So manually identify the list of deb packages and
delete them in your apt cache. Then run apt again to download fresh
packages. For ease of operation, you could simply rename the archives
directory and make a blank archives directory. Then run apt.
