I tried to install vlc using the software centre and something pop up saying that

This error could be caused by required additional software packages which are missing or not installable. Furthermore there could be a conflict between software packages which are not allowed to be installed at the same time.

And from the details:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

vlc: Depends: vlc-nox (= 2.2.0~pre2+git20141011+r57575+24+12~ubuntu14.10.1) but 2.2.0~pre2+git20141011+r57575+24+12~ubuntu14.10.1 is to be installed
     Depends: libavcodec-extra-56 (>= 6:11) but 6:11-1 is to be installed
