tried to install it on MX 17 on both 32/64 bit by MX Tools.... something goes wrong.I tick vlc to install and installer quits.
Should be uninstalled the previous version of vlc 2.2.8 before install?

In the future, when we are just trying to troubleshoot one package, please don't do a full upgrade! In your case, you are having an install failure with desktop-defaults-xfce-mx17, which is in the main repo and has nothing to do at all with vlc.
I suggest you start a separate thread for that update failure...the script is failing, but I really suspect that you have been messing around with your sources.list files like crazy, too.
Do the people getting broken packages have KDE installed, or at least phonon-backend-vlc installed? In that case, installing phonon-backend-gstreamer and removing phonon-backend-vlc might help.

As I said, I noticed failure with desktop-defaults-xfce-mx17, but I did not pay attention to it. Now that I tried to install vlc 3 by enabling testrepo the problem raised.So I disabled testrepo to avoid other problems as broken packages etc ... i will open a separate thread for failure with desktop-defaults-xfce-mx17.

How about replacing phonon4qt5-backend-vlc with its gstreamer equivalent, too? I'll try rebuilding that, too, since it worked for phonon-backend-vlc...oh, wait, it's all part of the phonon rebuild I just did. I'll probably rebuild vlc-3.0.0 and have it break the older versions of those phonon backends.
OK, it already has those Breaks: in it, I just have to upload the phonon backport to the test repo and it should straighten out that mess.
