I don't know about debian packages, but it seems the package is trying to 
overwrite a file already installed by another package. Anyway I don't 
recommend using that package, it's outdated and not customized for your 
hardware, please grab the current release 0.17a IdegCounter from 
http://mplayer.sourceforge.net available as tared bzip2 (~600kb).
It really has lot's of enhancements over 0.11 release and the configure 
script will auttodetect your hardware and optimize mplayer for it.
