Yet another apt-get problem

I'm trying to install mplayer on breezy.  When I hit this command:

sudo apt-get install mplayer-386

I get this output:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Package mplayer-386 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
W: Couldn't stat source package list http://packages.freecontrib.org
breezy/free <http://packages.freecontrib.orgbreezy/free> Packages
(/var/lib/apt/lists/packages.freecontrib.org_ubuntu_plf_dists_breezy_free_binary-amd64_Packages)
- stat (2 No such file or directory)
W: Couldn't stat source package list http://packages.freecontrib.org
breezy/non-free <http://packages.freecontrib.orgbreezy/non-free> Packages
(/var/lib/apt/lists/packages.freecontrib.org_ubuntu_plf_dists_breezy_non-free_binary-amd64_Packages)
- stat (2 No such file or directory)
W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems
E: Package mplayer-386 has no installation candidate

I have already replaced my sources.list file with the text shown here:
http://easylinux.info/wiki/Ubuntu#Repositories and I have apt-get updated
and apt-get upgraded since then.  It seems that this should work given the
instructions, but it doesn't.

Thanks in advance.
