all I did was a YOU update, not a version update..
Actually, I think the problem happened when I did te smart update 
( same as apt-get upgrade)

it found a dependency issue with mplayer and removed mplayer. I did an 
upgrade the other day, it reinstalled mplayer, and all is well.

on my laptop I always do a new install, not upgrades.. The LAST one 
being the Kubuntu 6.06 install, with  "the gangs" help at the ubuntu 
install at Bills house. He helped install a bunch of goodies for us.
