The following is the code which I used to install vlc on my ubuntu 14.04:

Removing old vlc and its packages: sudo apt-get purge vlc vlc-nox gstreamer1.0-libav:i386 libavcodec-extra-54:i386 libavformat54:i386 libopus0:i386

Adding architecture: sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386

Then install vlc: sudo apt-get install vlc

It means you have unmet dependencies for a lot of software that is already installed. Run "sudo apt-get -f install" to fix that and allow the installation of more software

See if this helps:

sudo apt-get purge vlc vlc-nox

sudo apt-get install vlc

Let us know.

I had nearly the exact same package dependency problems and figured out wine installed packeges for i386 architecture on my i686 system. Removing this packages

  • gstreamer1.0-libav:i386
  • libavcodec-extra-54:i386
  • libavformat54:i386
  • libopus0:i386

solved my problem and I was able to install vlc again using apt-get.

I also had same problem and it got resolved after I ran
sudo apt-get purge vlc vlc-nox
--> This has Purged configuration files for earlier installed vlc

later it got installed after said dependencies installed ..with below command
sudo apt-get install libpostproc52 vlc-nox vlc

Hope this helps.

aptitude is able to resolve the dependency problem by running:

sudo aptitude install vlc

The actual conflict is the package libpostproc-extra-52, which can be resolved by running

sudo apt-get purge libpostproc-extra-52
sudo apt-get install vlc
