Possibly. It tells me that your mplayer package verifies fine, which
means that the executables has not been tampered with. Examining the
executable I see that it depends on libgpm.so.2 via libaa.so.1:

$ ldd /usr/lib/libaa.so.1|grep gpm
        libgpm.so.2 => /usr/lib/libgpm.so.2 (0x00273000)
$ rpm -q --whatprovides libaa.so.1
aalib-libs-1.4.0-0.16.rc5.fc10.i386

Can you reproduce that? I assume that either you've got a wrong
aalib-libs package or one in /usr/local that overrides the system's one.
Right?
