i am new to ubuntu 12.04 i am facing a lot of problem while installing vlc in my laptop every time i try to install it i get an error that the packages are broken. i have tried repairing, cleaning and removing the packages and also reinstalling it but all in vain.
i tried installing all packages manually but the same problem occured
sudo apt-get install vlc vlc-nox
i tried installing vlc using soft ware center but it showed the following error
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.
