apt - Can't Install VLC In Ubuntu 16.04 [ERROR] - Ask Ubuntu


i using ubuntu 16.04. new user want learn terminal. prefer using terminal instead of software center. tried several times install vlc using both:

$ sudo apt-get update     $ sudo apt-get install vlc browser-plugin-vlc 

and

$ sudo apt-get update     $ sudo apt-get install vlc browser-plugin-vlc 

but message appears every time:

reading package lists... done building dependency tree        reading state information... done packages not installed. may mean have requested impossible situation or if using unstable distribution required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of incoming. following information may resolve situation:  following packages have unmet dependencies:  vlc : depends: vlc-nox (= 3.0.0~~git20160525+r64784+62~ubuntu16.10.1) 2.2.4-4 installed e: unable correct problems, have held broken packages. 

so, @ last against went software center. however, install vlc had log in @ ubuntu one. tried log in, can't. said invalid email/password.

so, tell me can do, please?

short answer: you're trying install vlc in version 3.0.0, vlc package depends on vlc-nox (and maybe others). apt can't find vlc-nox package in version 3.0.0 in repositories configured, 1 in version 2.2.4. also, you're trying install vlc package meant ubuntu 16.10 on ubuntu 16.04, may cause problems.

long answer: packages can depend on other packages. install vlc, need install vlc-nox (vlc use without graphical interface, "no x") in corresponding version. if you, example, want install vlc in version 2.2.0, need vlc-nox in version 2.2.0.

apt tries install latest version of package can repositories have configured. in case, vlc 3.0.0~~git20160525+r64784+62~ubuntu16.10.1. need 3.0.0 version of vlc-nox well. latest version of vlc-nox that's available repositories 2.2.4-4.

also, 3.0.0~~git20160525+r64784+62~ubuntu16.10.1 version meant ubuntu 16.10, not ubuntu 16.04. it's gamble use packages build different ubuntu versions. may work, may not work.

so need check repositories have installed. there might repository that's meant later ubuntu version , doesn't work on version.
