<p>CarlFink: </p> <hr /> <div>VLC is not currently in &quot;Etch&quot;, the in-development release of Debian, and won't be added to it because of unresolved licensing issues. You can find out more from [http://bugs.debian.org/vlc].</div>

<p>CarlFink: Added mention of licensing restrictions that prevent VLC from being in current Debian</p> <hr /> <div>== Installing VLC on Debian GNU/Linux ==<br /> <br /> If you are using Debian Sarge, or Sid, then you can install VLC using the Apt manager. Licensing problems prevent VLC from moving into any later released version of Debian. (Sid is &quot;unstable&quot; and will never be released.) Just log in as root and type the following and then you are done:<br /> <br /> # apt-get install vlc<br /> <br /> look out there are many deprecated vlc based packages like gnome-vlc etc. just installing vlc will do.<br /> <br /> Many vlc plugins can be installed afterwards:<br /> vlc-plugin-alsa - ALSA audio output plugin for VLC (install it if sound doesn't work)<br /> vlc-plugin-arts - aRts audio output plugin for VLC (install it if sound still doesn't work and you're using KDE)<br /> vlc-plugin-esd - Esound audio output plugin for VLC (install it if sound still doesn't work and you're using Gnome)<br /> vlc-plugin-ggi - GGI video output plugin for VLC<br /> vlc-plugin-glide - Glide video output plugin for VLC<br /> vlc-plugin-sdl - SDL video and audio output plugin for VLC<br /> vlc-plugin-svgalib - SVGAlib video output plugin for VLC</div>
