I've tried this after running the following commands on my Linux Mint 17 box:

sudo apt-get remove --purge vlc*
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:videolan/stable-daily
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install vlc vlc-plugin-notify vlc-plugin-pulse

VLC version "2.0.6 Twoflower" installs instead of 2.1.x.

apt-cache policy vlc produces the following output:

vlc:
  Installed: 1:2.0.6-dmo3
  Candidate: 1:2.0.6-dmo3
  Version table:

Where am I going wrong?

I renamed /etc/apt to /etc/apt-old and copied /etc/apt from a live CD. This fixed the issue.
