Package: mplayer
Version: 2:1.0~rc4.dfsg1-2
Severity: important

After taking the latest Debian "aptitude safe-upgrade," I get the 
following error message any time I play an AVI or MKV file:

$ mplayer -msglevel all=6  foo.avi

mplayer: ../../src/xcb_io.c:657: _XRead: Assertion `dpy->xcb->reply_data

Even just a help message gives a warning message:

$ mplayer --help
mplayer: Symbol `ff_codec_bmp_tags' has different size in shared object, 
consider re-linking
Warning unknown option skin at line 102

I've marked this as "important" on the theory that others have not been 
complaining, and therefore some local interaction is giving me this 
problem.
