The problem reappears after removing just `vlc`, suggesting that a needed library is contained in that very package. Of course, a system library depending on an application with a .desktop file is unacceptable — we are not Arch. Please fix this packaging issue. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
