vlc wont install from software centre

Asked by Peter Jordan

went to software centre to install vlc which is listed as an available install. when selected message appears stating "requires installation of untrusted packages" regardles of pressing repair or Ok options nothing happens. How can the program be in the software centre but be untrusted and then blocked from installation. is this a software bug? how do I download VLC. am using ubuntu 12.04lts.
