You obviously failed to read what I mentioned in the Totem & VLC thread:

That last page will give you instructions on how to install libdvdcss2.
And if you've gone back to Gutsy, it states:

====
If you are using Ubuntu 7.04 or later:

    * Install the libdvdcss2 package after adding the unsupported
third-party repository Medibuntu.

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu

Add Medibuntu to your sources.list, as well as its GPG key to your
keyring. Make sure to use the correct sources.list that corresponds to
your current distribution.

# Ubuntu 7.10 "Gutsy Gibbon":

sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/gutsy.list -O
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list

Then, add the GPG Key:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring && sudo
apt-get update

Now:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2
