Package not available, but is referred to by another package.?


I'm not actually sure what this means

but does it mean my Ubuntu sources dont have all the files they should?
I can install some things but nothing related to MAD or DVD work spitting out the below message

Code:
sudo apt-get install mplayer
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Package mplayer is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package mplayer has no installation candidate
Code:
deb http://kubuntu.org/packages/amarok-latest/ dapper main
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper-security universe
deb http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper universe
deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper-security universe
