First: you don't need sudo for apt-get source (it just downloads, and possibly
unpacks and patches the source package).

It seems you still have Debian multimedia in some index ("dmo" hints at that).
Go through your sources, fix them and do an "apt-get update". Possibly, having
vlc binaries from Debian multimedia plays a role too, so perhaps purge that
one and re-install from standard Debian.
