Hm, db5.1-util installed without a problem.

But this:

 phonon-backend-vlc : Depends: libvlccore8 (>= 2.0.0) but it is not
going to be installed
 vlc : Depends: libvlccore8 (>= 2.2.0) but it is not going to be installed
       Recommends: vlc-plugin-samba (= 2.2.4-1~deb8u1) but it is not
going to be installed
 vlc-nox : Depends: libvlccore8 (>= 2.2.0) but it is not going to be
installed
 vlc-plugin-notify : Depends: libvlccore8 (>= 2.2.0) but it is not going
to be installed
 vlc-plugin-pulse : Depends: vlc-data (= 2.2.4-1~deb8u1) but
1:2.0.6-dmo3 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I tried, without success, to install libvlccore8:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libvlccore8 : Depends: vlc-data (= 2.2.4-1~deb8u1) but 1:2.0.6-dmo3 is
to be installed

Bah!
