VLC will not install in Ubuntu 15.04 [duplicate]

Solution 1:

The problem seems to be in vlc-nox, that is not removed when Ubuntu is upgraded. If you remove it at first, everything should work OK. Something like that:

sudo apt-get remove vlc-nox
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get update

And then install vlc (3.0 worked for me):

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:videolan/master-daily
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install vlc

That should make it work. This PPA contains daily changing, potentially unstable or broken development builds. See the PPA description:

This PPA contains daily builds from the VLC development branch.
