Apt Dependency Issue-libdivxdecore0-binary

[Leonard Chatagnier]

Can't configure mplayer because
libdivxdecore0-binary(apparent virtual pkg) won't
allow installation of libdivxdecore0 and
libdivxencore0 which are mplayer depends. Apt-get and
aptitude -f install doesn't do it yielding same
errors. Can't purge or remove libdivxdecore0-binary.
Snaptic didn't work either as I tried the upgrade with
it first. Any suggestions appreciated. Output
follows:(very long-didn't snip anything).
