You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad: Depends: libflite1 but it is not going to be
installed
  vlc: Depends: vlc-nox (= 1.0.6-1ubuntu1.8) but it is not going to be
installed
       Depends: libqtcore4 (>= 4:4.6.1) but it is not going to be installed
       Depends: libqtgui4 (>= 4:4.6.1) but it is not going to be installed
       Depends: libsdl-image1.2 (>= 1.2.5) but it is not going to be
installed
       Depends: libtar but it is not going to be installed
       Depends: libvlccore2 (>= 1.0.0~rc1) but it is not going to be
installed
       Depends: libxcb-keysyms1 (>= 0.3.6) but it is not going to be
installed
       Recommends: vlc-plugin-pulse (= 1.0.6-1ubuntu1.8) but it is not going
to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify
a solution).



Then i did .

sudo apt-get -f install


It too gives the error as:
