Dependency issues when installing new packages on 6.7.1

[klaus2008]

The package management software apt-get of Knoppix uses software packages of the Debian stable branch by default.
Somtimes packages of the stable branch are older than those delivered with Knoppix since Knoppix uses packages of four different branches of the Debian software package repositories.
I would suggest that you instruct apt-get to prefer packages of the testing (wheezy) branch if you get an error message. You could issue

apt-get update
apt-get -t testing install vlc

and see wether this resolves the issue.

Many thanks. That did the trick.
