>Description:
		multimedia/mplayer seems to have no packages on the FTP
	mirrors.  I've searched a few, read @ pointyhat, no clues.
	mplayer-skins is there, and mplayer-fonts, but no mplayer.

	FWIW, I can build a package locally, but my ports tree isn't
	current, so, that's probably irrelevant.

	Probably the one thing I've not done (that I should have done)
	is check the ports@ list ... but I have so much mail now it
	just seems like it'd kill me.

        I had a bit of trouble with a couple of other packages 
	yesterday, so I wondered if something's up.

	I was attempting to help someone on questions@ and we ran
	across this.  I'm not sure I've done everything correctly,
	so I've donned my flame-retardant undergarments.  If someone
	can help me figure it out; great.  If it's a stupid mistake,
	sorry for the noise.  If something's wrong with the package
	cluster or FTP mirrors and we've alerted you to it, so much the 
	better.  Thanks for all you do for FreeBSD!

>How-To-Repeat:
	$ pkg_add -r mplayer (or similar).
>Fix:

	I was hoping someone could tell us. ;-)
