>Description:
When tried to install mplayer-0.92.0_3 port from DVD using sysinstall, installation failed and displayed the following messages on the screen:

---------------- Start of the message----------------------
     Add of package mplayer-0.92.0_3 aborted, error code 1
     Please check the debug screen for more info.

-----------------End of the message------------------------

I then tried to install the mplayer manually using the following steps.
I mount the DVD and then changed directory to  "/cdrom/5.2.1-RELEASE/packages/multimedia".

I then used the pkg_add command to install the mplayer-0.92.0_3, using the following command:

#pkg_add mplayer-0.92.0_3.tbz

Yet again pkg_add failed and displayed the follwoing message on the screen:

---------------- Start of the message----------------------

pkg_add: could not find package win32-codecs-2.0.90_1,1 !

-----------------End of the message------------------------

The above error message indicates that there is a file dependency is not included in the above port.





>How-To-Repeat:
 Use FreeBsd 5.2.1 DVD, and try to install mplayer-0.92.0_3.
