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:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  mplayer-586: Depends: libarts (>= 4:2.2.2-1) or
                        libarts-alsa (>= 4:2.2.2-1) but it is not going to be installed
               Depends: libvorbis0 (>= 1.0rc3-1) but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages

well just so others behind me can at least figure out what to do. it turns out in this case it was a connectivity issue. i waited several hours, ran apt-get update again, then apt-get install mplayer-586 and it worked.

so finnaly i have mplayer installed. now just to get all the codec and everything else so i can start work on my media portion of that box and getting the output to the TV via s-video.
