| Sep 9, 2017 at 14:35 | comment | added | Underverse | I could not install VLC on Ubuntu 16.04 with aptitude without removing Unity and 300 packages according to aptitude. apt-get remove aptitude followed by an install did not help. As a workaround I used apt-get to install VLC which worked. Aptitude really needs a reset command. | |
