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.
