That begs the question of why you're trying to install stable's version
of vlc on a system not running stable. Perhaps because it's not in
testing? So install the version from unstable. Or, properly configure
your system to install software from stable to, by adding the
appropriate lines to /etc/apt/sources.list.

It's hard to say, since you neglect to say what version of Debian you're
using, what version of vlc you're trying to install, or how or why
you're trying to do that.

I started with AGNULA DeMudi 1.3.0.  I ran a dist-upgrade as suggested
to resolve several problems, and installed 300 some new packages.  I
wanted access to non-AGNULA packages, so I put in my sources.list:

deb http://demudi.agnula.org/packages/demudi/ demudi main contrib non-free

deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ testing main non-free contrib

deb http://security.debian.org sarge/updates main contrib non-free

and now:

deb http://mirrors.ecology.uni-kiel.de/debian/debian-multimedia testing main
==============
I see now that the version of vlc I have listed is
0.8.1.svn20050314-1sarge1  Why a stable version is showing in my list
I don't know.

I am trying to install vlc because it is the first program mentioned at
http://orange.blender.org/download
as being able to play this stuff on Linux.
