vlc : Depends: vlc-nox (= 1.1.9-1ubuntu1) but it is not going to be installed natty

This is quite a nasty error when trying to install vlc player in ubuntu.

If you encounter this problem while installing vlc player in ubuntu 11.04 , then just do the following:

1. Open /etc/apt/sources.list in your favorite editor:

nano /etc/apt/sources.list

2. Add the following entry at the bottom of the file:

deb http://ubuntu.mirror.cambrium.nl/ubuntu/ natty main

3. apt-get update

4. apt-get install vlc mozilla-plugin-vlc

And you are done! Now right click on any video files and select "open with" and then select vlc from the list. Enjoy :)

This error took a lot of headaches and finally I succeeded in installing vlc in this way.
