Binary package hint: vlc

I was running  VLC  0.9.2 downloaded from VCL website previous to my
upgrade from Hearty 8.04 to Intrepid 8.10.

from Terminal:

user at user-desktop:~$ sudo apt-get install vlc

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.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  vlc: Depends: vlc-nox (= 0.9.4-1ubuntu3) but 0.9.5+x264snapshot20080928+faad2.6.1-1~ppa1 is to be installed
