Package: mplayer Version: 1.0~rc1-14 Severity: important I was happy to see mplayer back in debian, but it seems I'll still need to compile my own until this is fixed.
I expect this is another bug in the runtime cpu detection, similar to #410962. $ /usr/bin/mplayer -v MPlayer 1.0rc1-4.1.3-DFSG-free (C) 2000-2006 MPlayer Team CPU: Digital Alpha Illegal instruction (core dumped) The instruction in question appears to be at 0x1200623b0: 1200623ac: 01 80 fa 6b ret 1200623b0: 8c 04 7f 50 itoft t2,$f12 1200623b4: 20 00 69 8d ldt $f11,32(s0) 1200623b8: ca 17 ec 5b cvtqt $f12,$f10 1200623bc: ca 14 4b 59 cmptlt $f10,$f11,$f10 1200623c0: ef ff 5f c5 fbeq $f10,120062380 <m_option_list_find+0x22d 0> 1200623c4: eb 05 eb 5b cvttq/c $f11,$f11 1200623c8: e1 ff 5d 26 ldah a2,-31(gp) 1200623cc: 13 04 ec 47 mov s3,a3 Doing a backtrace in gdb gives 0x1200623b4 but it is the instruction just before that which is causing the error: $ gdb /usr/bin/mplayer GNU gdb 6.6-debian Copyright (C) 2006 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
