VLC - Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
I had some problems with the VLC installed via apt-get install vlc
so looked at the http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-debian.html to install VLC from wheezy-backports. So I have first removed current version: Commandline: apt-get --purge remove vlc Purge: vlc:i386 (2.0.6-dmo1) then autoremove not needed packages as recommended by the system: Commandline: apt-get autoremove Remove: libva-x11-1:i386 (1.0.15-4), libxcb-keysyms1:i386 (0.3.9-1), libsvga1:i386 (1.4.3-33), libtar0:i386 (1.2.16-1), libwebp2:i386 (0.1.3-3+nmu1), python-central:i386 (0.6.17), libxcb-randr0:i386 (1.8.1-2+deb7u1), libxcb-composite0:i386 (1.8.1-2+deb7u1), vlc-plugin-notify:i386 (2.0.6-dmo1), vlc-plugin-pulse:i386 (2.0.6-dmo1), libsdl-image1.2:i386 (1.2.12-2) then added following to my sources.list sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list ## VLC Wheezy-Backports deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ wheezy-backports main and run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade now, when I want to install vlc from backports with command I get this: sudo apt-get -t wheezy-backports install vlc Reading package lists...

sudo apt-get remove --purge vlc* and sudo apt-get remove --purge vlc-data removed the following and I was able to install VLC from backports: Purge: krusader:i386 (2.3.0~beta1-1+wheezy3), phonon:i386 (4.6.0.0-3), libkonq5abi1:i386 (4.8.4-2), libvlc5:i386 (2.0.6-dmo1), phonon-backend-vlc:i386 (0.6.0-1), vlc-nox:i386 (2.0.6-dmo1), libkonq-common:i386 (4.8.4-2), kde-runtime:i386 (4.8.4-2), vlc-data:i386 (2.0.6-dmo1), libvlccore5:i386 (2.0.6-dmo1) so when removing vlc I should have run following: sudo apt-get remove --purge vlc sudo apt-get remove --purge vlc* sudo apt-get remove --purge vlc-data sudo apt-get autoremove |
