that means your etc/apt/sources.list errors on that "line" witj VLC. remove it, or place a # before that line
go to your software sources and add the vlc ppa there with signing the pgp key via: https://edge.launchpad.net/~c-korn/+archive/vlc
click on technical details.
and sign the key via the terminal
