Trying to apt-get mplayer but...


Hi,

I'm trying to apt-get mplayer but apt-get can't find it. Here are my search repositories in /etc/apt/sources.file:

deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hoary main restricted
deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hoary main restricted

deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hoary-updates main restricted
deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hoary-updates main restricted

deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hoary universe
deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hoary universe

deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hoary-security main restricted
deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hoary-security main restricted

deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hoary-security universe
deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hoary-security universe

Ive gone to: packages.ubuntu.com and have found the .deb package to download. As I'm new to apt-get, I'm not sure what to do from here. Save it locally? If so, what if it needs dependencies, how does it retrieve them?

Thanks Much,

ab
