    Not sure what to do here, my system uses Libvlc5 but:

    The following packages have unmet dependencies:
    freetuxtv: Depends: libvlc2 (>= 1.0.0~rc1) but it is not going to be installed
    E: Broken packages

    $ uname -a
    Linux terra 2.6.32-25-generic #44-Ubuntu SMP Fri Sep 17 20:05:27 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux
