I'm running Linux Mint 17.3 and I can't install VLC. When I type in
sudo apt-get install vlc
This is the result I get:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
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. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: vlc : Depends: vlc-nox (= 2.2.1-3~ubuntu14.04.1~c42.ppa1) but it is not going to be installed Depends: libstdc++6 (>= 4.9) but 4.8.4-2ubuntu1~14.04 is to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
Any idea how to resolve this?
