software installation problems

[shiyru]

I've recently tried to install both automatix and Video lan but when I try to do the last step in the install process something goes wrong. I typed into sudo apt-get install vlc vlc-plugin-esd mozilla-plugin-vlc and it came out

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:

Re: software installation problems

Try getting a fresh set of repositories and then:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install vlc vlc-plugin-esd mozilla-plugin-vlc
