Hi All! This problem can be solved in a very easy way: just rebuild and reupload the package.
Explanation: The PNG files were probably stripped by some bogus script between the versions 3 (16 Oct 2009) and 3.1 (28 Aug 2013), that were also present at the times of 3.2 (29 May 2014). See http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/m/mplayer-skins/mplayer-skins_3_all.deb http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/m/mplayer-skins/mplayer-skins_3.1_all.deb http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/m/mplayer-skins/mplayer-skins_3.2_all.deb dh-strip-nondeterminism (aka strip-nondeterminism) has been introduced since then (18 Sep 2014). The current stripped versions of the files differ only by 2-5 bytes from their originals and seem to work. PS There is also a typo in the changelog: "tranitional" instead of "tran_s_itional". -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1218510 Title: Fails to open due to: PNG read error in /usr/share/mplayer/skins/default/main To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mplayer/+bug/1218510/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
