The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 vlc : Depends: vlc-nox (= 1.1.10-1) but it is not going to be installed
       Depends: libavcodec52 (>= 4:0.6-1~) but 4:0.5.2-6 is to be installed or
                libavcodec-extra-52 (>= 4:0.6-1~) but it is not installable
       Recommends: vlc-plugin-notify (= 1.1.10-1) but it is not going to be installed
       Recommends: vlc-plugin-pulse (= 1.1.10-1) but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages

So I think I'm back where I started.

So it's not possible that vlc on wheezy is busted ?
