You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad: Depends: libflite1 but it is not going to be installed
vlc: Depends: vlc-nox (= 1.0.6-1ubuntu1.8) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libqtcore4 (>= 4:4.6.1) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libqtgui4 (>= 4:4.6.1) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libsdl-image1.2 (>= 1.2.5) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libtar but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libvlccore2 (>= 1.0.0~rc1) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libxcb-keysyms1 (>= 0.3.6) but it is not going to be installed
Recommends: vlc-plugin-pulse (= 1.0.6-1ubuntu1.8) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).



Then i did .

sudo apt-get -f install


It too gives the error as:

May be the package libflite1_1.3-release-2build1_i386.deb is corrupt ?

Suggest : Delete /var/cache/apt/archives/libflite1_1.3-release-2build1_i386.deb

Then update your repositories : sudo apt-get update
( Can be done before any attempt to install a package, or at least every time there
is a problem with 'unmet dependencies' or "package is not going to be installed".)


... And hopefully you can now install vlc + dependencies.
