Recently I tried to install VLC through Software center. But due to internet problem, it was errored while installing. Now its giving trouble. So I need to remove it then I want to install a fresh copy of it.
I installed Synaptic Package Manager from software center. You can install it through software center or using the following command on your terminal
sudo apt-get install synaptic
Than I tried to fix using synaptic. But it doest not solve my problem and again it's not installing Vlc player. So I used the following command to Fix it.
sudo apt-get update --fix-missing
After that Vlc installed. But it doesnot open. So I moved to get another command to fix the broken installation again.
sudo apt-get --fix-broken install
The above command fixed it and than its working fine now.

FYI: The
sudo apt-get update –fix-missingis not correct,The update command takes no arguments, probably that issudo apt-get install --fix-missing:) – Ravan Dec 14 '15 at 12:12 -
I read some where in askubuntu and solved it. Whether it works or not. But my problem solved. That's it. – Kvvaradha Dec 14 '15 at 12:20

" fixing it through synaptic"--In your answer, you just installed
synapticbut not used it anywhere. You can run the last commands, without having(installing)syaptic– Ravan Dec 15 '15 at 2:21
Install synaptic from software center.
Open synaptic and Edit --> Fix broken packages
One of the most basic fixes to resolve dependencies problems is to run:
sudo apt-get install -f
apt-cache policy vlc– Ravan Dec 14 '15 at 7:14
