Hi Logan, I'm also having this problem using the official package provided by the Ubuntu repositories:
sudo apt-get install vlc vlc-plugin-pulse mozilla-plugin-vlc Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: vlc : Depends: fonts-freefont-ttf but it is not installable Recommends: vlc-plugin-notify (= 2.0.3+git20121005+r392-0~r42~precise1) but it is not going to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. Unless I'm mistaken, I'm reopening the bug. ** Changed in: ubuntu Status: Invalid => New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1062039 Title: vlc : Depends: fonts-freefont-ttf but it is not installable To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1062039/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
