>Description:
      I was attempting to build mplayer which needs the multimedia/win32-codecs port but when I attempted to install that port, I got this:

--->  Installing 'win32-codecs-2.0.90_1,1' from a port (multimedia/win32-codecs)
--->  Building '/usr/ports/multimedia/win32-codecs'
===>  Cleaning for win32-codecs-2.0.90_1,1
===>  Vulnerability check disabled
>How-To-Repeat:
      go to /usr/ports/multimedia/win32-codecs and attempt to 'make install'
>Fix:
      Update the distfile names, checksums and fetch sites?

 *** Error code 1
 
 Upon further investigation, it turns out the mplayer folks changed the naming scheme on the codec distfiles and so this port seriously needs to be updated.  It's been broken for at least the last two weeks, probably longer.
