Bad package name or there is no version 3.0.20 in repository but you can compile vlc from source code.

Here guide: https://wiki.videolan.org/UnixCompile/

https://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/vlc/3.0.20/


sudo apt-get install git g++ make libtool automake autopoint pkg-config flex bison

Unpack .xz archive somewhere install libraries:

sudo apt-get install libdbus-1-dev libmad0-dev libavcodec-dev libavformat-dev libswscale-dev liba52-0.7.4-dev  libxcb1-dev libxcb-shm0-dev libxcb-xv0-dev libx11-xcb-dev libgcrypt20-dev liblua5.2-dev libxcb-composite0-dev libssl-dev libxcb-randr0-dev

Navigate to folder in terminal  by cd example: cd vlc then write  ./configure

Last step is write  make.

If you want  install it write sudo make install.

And thats all.

I will also write how to install codecs to compile with vlc also fix this guide if there is a problem.

Reedition from: https://staff.itee.uq.edu.au/ksb/howto/vlc-howto.html

Few codecs was taken from: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Compiling%20MPlayer

You can also run without installing by write ./vlc
