Hi there,

I'm having trouble installing VLC through the synaptic and the terminal.

I'm getting this error:

warning, in file '/var/lib/dpkg/available' near line 27195 package 'libmono-sharpzip2.84-cil':
'Replaces' field, reference to 'mono-classlib-2.0': error in version: invalid character in version number
dpkg: parse error, in file '/var/lib/dpkg/available' near line 27195 package 'libmono-sharpzip2.84-cil':
`Replaces' field, invalid package name `
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)

I'm new to ubuntu and I'm not sure how to solve this issue. Can someone help me?

Run this command and then try to install vlc from software center.

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

If that doesn't work run these commands and try again.

sudo dpkg --configure -a

sudo apt-get install -f

What version of Ubuntu are you using?
