I used this :

You need open Software Sources

1) Select universe and multiverse and update

Open Synaptic application

1) Press the search option and write libdvdcss2 and search
2) right click and select mark for instalation
3) click apply

ooh you want to compile

check it out
checking for g++... no => mean you don't have g++ installed in your system the same for all the no that mean you need install g++ and the others option after the that you can do it.

Why don't use my preview post ?

Multiverse and universe is checked in Software Sources, and my Update Manager runs daily. I just ran it and it reported that my system is up to date. However, when I search for libdvdcss2 in the Synaptic Package Manager, the package is not found.
