This means that the freetuxtv package need the libvlc2 package to be installed. This probably means you can't install libvlc2 because you have propably installed another incompatible version of libvlc such as libvlc5.

Did you upgrade your vlc version from another package repository? In that case, the only way is to build FreetuxTV from the source. Nevertheless, you can try a package from an more recent version of Ubuntu (but this may not work). Try the 10.10 package here.
