36 The problem was that the dvdnav USE-flag was masked and you unmasked
37 the mplayer and dvdnav packages in the first place. This did not
38 affect the mplayer package that was built without dvdnav support as
39 the flag was still deactivated. Here [1] is some information from the
40 maintainer of mplayer.
