Automatix - Some Packages Not Installing


It seems that Automatix doesn't like one of it's repositories. Possibly more then one. Every time I try to install MPlayer, Firefox plug-ins, and nVidia drivers, it skips right to the end and says it's finished. It doesn't even try. The weird thing is, these packages work with apt-get. I'd prefer to install them via Automatix (takes care of some extra configuration). How do I fix this? Is anyone else having this problem?

Fixed it. Updated Firefox through Automatix and everything worked. Weird.

I had the same thing happen to me. mplayer, nvidia drivers, and a few other packages didn't install. I just did it via the command line after that.
