Update : I was able to install it with aptitude, which automatically fixed the version of a bunch of packages. However, some ricotz packages are still making problems in other areas.
I tried to install vlc on a rather fresh installation of ubuntu 16.10 but I'm getting this error :
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
vlc : Depends: libgles1-mesa (>= 7.8.1) but it is not going to be installed or
libgles1
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
So I tried
sudo apt-get install libgles1-mesa
Which in turn gives me
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libgles1-mesa : Depends: libglapi-mesa (= 12.0.3-1ubuntu2) but 12.1~git20161011.fc8b358b-0ubuntu0ricotz is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
I've tried
sudo apt-get install libglapi-mesa=12.0.3-1ubuntu2
as well, but that basically just tells me that no component is going to be installed.
