apt-get install vlc

rhertzog 2018-02-14 08:59 administrator ~0008676	You are certainly right that your mirror is badly configured and thus you should not have opened a bug report but instead you should have sought help on forums or directly looked up documentation: https://docs.kali.org/general-use/kali-linux-sources-list-repositories FTR apt-get install vlc works fine for me.
