And if it doesn't?

root@tony-fr:~#     apt-get install -t wheezy-backports vlc vlc-nox

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:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libvlccore7 : Depends: vlc-data (= 2.1.5-1~bpo70+1) but 2.0.3-5+deb7u1
is to be installed
 plasma-scriptengines : Depends: plasma-scriptengine-python (>=
4:4.8.4-6) but it is not going to be installed
 vlc-nox : Depends: libchromaprint0 (>= 0.2) but it is not going to be
installed
           Recommends: libdvdcss2 but it is not installable
E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be
caused by held packages.

I've tried adding those further depends onto the apt-get line, but it
simply fails on further dependencies, eventually failing on

Package libavcodec-extra-54 is not available, but is referred to by
another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

Package libavutil52 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'libavutil52' has no installation candidate
E: Package 'libavcodec-extra-54' has no installation candidate

I think something must be seriously broken ...

Cheers, Tony
