I removed vlc via sudo apt-get --purge remove (put all packages giving errors when trying apt-get install -f) and then reinstall vlc from scratch, after finishing the software upgrade which produced the errors. So: 1) Remove all erroneous packages, this might take a few iterations as you need to add all the vlc packages which will complain when you try to remove the libeblm package, like vlc-nox. 2)Finish the ubuuntu upgrade, which will now work 3) reinstall vlc, e.g. sudo apt-get install vlc.
Also, if you have any specific ppa you might need to remove it from sources. I have Ubuntu 14.04 and no specifc ppa for VLC.
