For the record: If you want to set up a "testing" system starting from a
"stable" installation CD then I would recommend to only install a
minimal stable system (no graphical environment etc.), upgrade this
minimal system carefully to testing (kernel, udev, dpkg, and apt first,
the do an "upgrade", followed by a "dist-upgrade") and then install the
rest of the system from testing. Your approach is asking for trouble.

I think one or more of the following may help to untangle your system:
- Comment out all third-party repositories and run "apt-get update"
again (as Daniel has already suggested).
- Add the usual lines for the stable repository ("squeeze") to your
sources list and run "apt-get update". (There may be rare cases where
a stable package needs to be installed temporarily to help break a
dependency loop.)
- Run "apt-get install -f", put its complete output on pastebin.com (or a
similar site) and send us the link.
- Also show us the output of:
apt-cache policy phonon-backend-vlc libvlc5 libvlccore4
dpkg -l \*phonon\* | awk '/^[^D|+]/{print $2,$3}'
