I did not setup a special server for that so the default server is used.

Are not all packages available for all amd64 NetBSD releases? And if yes--why did pkgin not know this?

Did you do a

pkgin up

by any chance? When I do a

pkgin av

it shows that

mplayer-1.1.1nb3 Fast, cross-platform movie player

is available.

You cannot distribute useful binary package for MPlayer for legal reasons.

I know that from Linux, but had not expected it on NetBSD.

But if that's the reason why does "pkgin avail" list it? Or do I have do setup an alternative server path to be able to install it?

I'm not sure. But as already mentioned, it would be worth performing "pkgin up"
-- there's a version of the MPlayer package newer than what your system is aware
of.

Depending on what you need from MPlayer, it *will* be necessary to let pkgsrc
know about some non-default details.

For example, the following is in my /etc/mk.conf:

LIBDVDCSS_MASTER_SITES=http://download.videolan.org/pub/libdvdcss/
ACCEPTABLE_LICENSES+= libdvdcss-license
ACCEPTABLE_LICENSES+= mplayer-codec-license

This lets me play commercial DVDs on my NetBSD laptop. But AFAIK the only way to
install MPlayer this way is to not use binary pakages -- you'll have to compile
from source.

I assume the pkg_summary(5) database was created using a repo of
packages that included some packages not allowed to be served. The
problem package was either removed or at least not uploaded. So the
list of available packages doesn't match.

I didn't look at old email in this thread to see what repo has problem.
But I have a few scripts to check sanity of the repo and see many
potential problems, including:
http://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/misc/reed/pkgsrc-package-sanity/missing-or-old-pkg_summary.txt

See
http://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/misc/reed/pkgsrc-package-sanity/README
for some details

This is the problem in the law, not in NetBSD.

Just build it from the source, it takes only fifteen minutes with decent
hardware and internet connectivity.

The system had been installed 3 days ago. I did not made an update, but if I do it does not change anything.

Exactly what I am saying. It thinks it is available but it is not (I get the same output like you, but if I do the install it is not there.)
