You can ignore these "serious" errors; to get rid of this message, either reinstall the packages in question (good idea) or delete the entries related to these names from /var/lib/dpkg/info/

Can you also post the output of

sudo updatedb && sudo locate vlc

(Note that updatedb will take some time)

[ashmew2]

Can someone upload the vlc executable for me ? (

[kpkeerthi]

I see /usr/bin/wxvlc in the locate command output above.

You should just be able to run it by typing wxvlc at the prompt.

[ashmew2]

A reinstall after a couple of restarts using apt-get fixed it..Thanks..

[Sycron]

You're welcome .
