I wanted to install VLC on Ubuntu, it wasn't working, updated system, than upgraded it, but still it isn't working.
I used both the Ubuntu Software center and the Terminal for that.
In the terminal I typed the command sudo apt-get install vlc
The error message terminal gives me is as follows.
arif@arifpc:~$ sudo apt-get install vlc
