After upgrading to Deepin 20.2.1 I installed VLC from the app store. Although VLC is working, when I try to install other applications I am unable to dur to dependency problems related to VLC. I have tried several methods to fix this - including trying to remove VLC - but regardless of the approach I get the same result as follows:

jon@jon-PC:~$ sudo apt install -f

Reading package lists... Done

The following additional packages will be installed:

  vlc-plugin-qt

The following NEW packages will be installed:

  vlc-plugin-qt

0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

3 not fully installed or removed.

Need to get 0 B/1,146 kB of archives.

After this operation, 3,607 kB of additional disk space will be used.

Use dpkg --contents (= dpkg-deb --contents) to list archive files contents.

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

How can this problem be fixed?
