Can't install VLC package from the PPA "The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available"

Question

Since I installed Ubuntu I was unable to install video Codecs I get the following errors: The following packages have unmet dependencies:

        The following packages have unmet dependencies:

    gstreamer1.0-libav: Depends: libavcodec-extra-54 (>= 6:9.13) but 7:1.2.5-1~trusty1 is to be installed

                             Depends: libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.37.3) but 2.40.0-2 is to be installed

However, I was using VLC. I had to uninstall VLC for a reason, now I'm unable to reinstall it. When I try to install VLC it gives me the following errors:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 vlc : Depends: vlc-nox (= 2.1.4-0ubuntu14.04.1) but it is not going to be installed
       Recommends: vlc-plugin-notify (= 2.1.4-0ubuntu14.04.1) but it is not going to be installed
       Recommends: vlc-plugin-pulse (= 2.1.4-0ubuntu14.04.1) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I've tried all the solve for this kind of problems, none of the worked for me. I've also tried aptitude which also didn't worked. Installation from source also failed.

apt-get update gives me an error:

W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net trusty Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 6A9653F936FD5529

Already tried. None of the solve worked for me. – ashik992 Jun 20 '14 at 15:40 — ashik992, Jun 20 '14 at 15:40

The problem was the error with the signature. The solve was the following commands:

gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv 6A9653F936FD5529
gpg --export --armor 6A9653F936FD5529 | sudo apt-key add -
