The problem you're having isn't actually related to installing VLC or any other new packages, but rather it's complaining that a previously attempted package management operation has failed or is failing - in this case it appears to be systemd-shim
I'm not sure if you should have that systemd-shim package installed, so if you manually changed that, you should probably revert those changes.
You can run this command to tell the package system to finish what it was told to do:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a
You can also run this command to tell apt to resolve package dependencies:
sudo apt install --fix-broken
