Problem installing vlc 12.04 broken dependencies

Problem installing vlc 12.04 broken dependencies

I am trying to install vlc on my Gateway netbook running 12.04 through
wubi but whether I try using terminal or the software center I get this
error message.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
vlc : Depends: vlc-nox (= 2.0.8+git20130809+r605-0~r43~precise1) but it is
not going to be installed
Depends: libavcodec53 (>= 4:0.8-1~) but it is not going to be installed or
libavcodec-extra-53 (>= 4:0.8-1~) but it is not going to be
installed
Depends: libsdl-image1.2 (>= 1.2.10) but it is not installable
Depends: libtar0 but it is not installable
Depends: libva-x11-1 (> 1.0.15~) but it is not installable
Depends: libva1 (> 1.0.15~) but it is not installable
Depends: libxcb-keysyms1 (>= 0.3.8) but it is not installable
Recommends: vlc-plugin-notify (= 2.0.8+git20130809+r605-0~r43~precise1)
but it is not going to be installed
Recommends: vlc-plugin-pulse (= 2.0.8+git20130809+r605-0~r43~precise1)
but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
I have spent a good hour on google and the forums trying to resolve this
but nothing seems to be working. I have tried using the daily releases
ppa. I tried this...
sudo apt-get install --fix-broken && sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo
apt-get update && sudo apt-get install vlc
...but it didn't change anything along with the other methods posted on
the forums. I updated just before trying to download vlc but vlc would not
download before the update either.
Any responses would be much appreciated.
