Some packages cannot be installed. Perhaps you are asking for the impossible,
or you are using an unstable version of the distribution where the
packages you requested have not yet been built or have been removed from Incoming.
The following information may help you:
Packages with unmet dependencies:
vlc : Depends: libgles1-mesa (>= 7.8.1) but it won't install or
libgles1
E: Unable to fix bugs, you have broken packages held.
