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
