I just notice, that Synaptic is still installed on my system.
There is a menu-bar on top and a menu “Edit” should be visible. Therein, try the command “Fix Broken Packages”.
Tell me what it does, so I can finally uninstall Synaptic!
TIA.

Can you, from the custom filter menu, access to a list of broken or defective packages?
There is a button labeled “Custom Filters” in the lower left corner of the synaptic window. The choices are at display above.
Also, try to update the package list prior taking any further action (by hitting the “Reload” button.
I have to tell you that I do not like Synaptic and recommend the command-line tools for package-management. You should have aptitude or apt-get.
Have tried to install this package Vlc-plugin-libde265

kernel seems a bit old.
i also could not find the above mentioned package in my xubuntu vm's repos.
question:
what exactly are you trying to install? is it a package that is in ubuntus default repos?
is it a web downloaded .deb package?
or have you added ppa to your sources?
which version of ubuntu? is it up-to-date?
