Bug#561514: Can't load mplayer: libcucul.so.0 not found

[J Phelps]

Package: mplayer
Version: 1.0~rc2-6
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable


After an upgrade, I noticed that mplayer is completely broken. It depends
on a file called "libcucul.so.0", which was replaced in the repository with
a similarly-named "libcaca" (on which mplayer also depends). Running mplayer
is impossible.

Furthermore, installing mplayer from the repository is also impossible,
because of some dependencies that "are not going to be installed".
