Umm, you haven't been using the debian-multimedia repository have you?
Because the main Debian repositories only supply the versions apt is
asking for in Wheezy and Sid...

If you have installed vlc from multimedia - remove it, comment out the
multimedia repository, update, then reinstall.


I _was_ using multimedia but I took it out of sources BEFORE I upgraded to wheezy, and I took it out by deleting the line.

dist-upgrade thinks everything is good.

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Calculating upgrade... Done
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

anyway to "reset" the package list or otherwise check it for consistency ?
