VLC Player has been removed, now I can't reinstall it

[jakkups]

I don't know what happened. I clicked on update and it removed some stuff including VLC player. But now when I go to reinstall it I can't do it and I'm at a loss at what to do.

This is what it said is Ubuntu Software center

I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 on an Acer Aspire Revo if that helps out at all. Please help me, thank you in advance.

Have you installed "Ubuntu restricted extras"? If not, find it in Software Center. It may help with some dependencies.

Hmm, try refreshing your package lists and if that doesn't work try switching to a different download server. For some reason the one you're connected to isn't giving you the packages you need.

Did both of these, hasn't solved the problem though.

"Make sure all the required repositories are added and enabled in the 'Repositories' option under 'Settings'."

Do you have all of them checked?

Yep, have them all checked, still not playing ball with me though.

What PPAs do you have installed?

What doesn't look right from orig. post

Depends: libavcodec-extra-53 (>= 4:0.8-1~) but 4:0.8.1ubuntu1 is to be installed
Depends: libavutil-extra-51 (>= 4:0.8-1~) but 4:0.8.4ubuntu0.12.04.1 is to be installed

libavcodec & libavutil should be the same version which currently is
4:0.8.4ubuntu0.12.04.1

Search libavcodec in synaptic & see if 4:0.8.4ubuntu0.12.04.1 is available

OK I was able to get both of those to be the same versions but it still won't let me install VLC player. Am I doing something wrong?
