Code:
sudo apt-get install vlc

Part of the description of the package localepurge:
I would suggest uninstalling the package:Please note, that this tool is a hack which is *not* integrated with
Debian's package management system and therefore is not for the faint
of heart. This program interferes with the Debian package management
and does provoke strange, but usually harmless, behaviour of programs
related with apt/dpkg like dpkg-repack, reportbug, etc.
Responsibility for its usage and possible breakage of your system
therefore lies in the sysadmin's (your) hands.
Code:sudo apt-get remove --purge localepurge

Glad we could help you get your VLC fixed.
Regarding localepurge, it's a part of my standard build process; it's never caused a problem for me. It trims several hundred megabytes of foreign-language man pages, mostly.
Follow the configuration prompts:
I always answer "no" to the "Use accurate free space calculation?" question -- the speed difference is noticable.Code:sudo dpkg-reconfigure localepurge
Perform the initial run:
Now, whenever apt-get installs a package, localepurge will examine installed files and delete all the locales you didn't specify during configuration.Code:sudo localepurge

I have used bleahbit to clean up my system. Does it also do the same thing as local purge?
ThanksComment

I should note that the use of BleachBit is not recommended as it can crash various parts of KDE: http://blog.martin-graesslin.com/blo...use-bleachbit/Comment

Hm, I didn't realize BleachBit has the potential to be that destructive. I played around with it a bit when I was first learning Ubuntu and concluded that it really wasn't too useful.Originally posted by JontheEchidna View Post
I loved Martin's response to the developer who suggested KDE was broken because it didn't properly support his baby
