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 it is not going to be installed
Depends: libqtcore4 (>= 4.4.3) but it is not installable
Depends: libqtgui4 (>= 4.4.3) but it is not installable
Depends: libsdl-image1.2 (>= 1.2.5) but it is not installable
E: Broken packages

I think are mixing up different vlc versions. Try to deinstall everything related to vlc and try again.

Dumb question. Are you installing as root?

usually means another package manager (Synaptic, the auto-updater) is running. Close them and try again.
