[RESOLVED]vlc updates today

[GuiGuy]

Some vlc updates from debian are being offered today: I suspect they are not good for MX.
I have not accepted them and suggest no MX user should accept them.

Please explain. What happened?

[GuiGuy]

The updates offered by debian appear to mess up the MX vlc installation.

I accepted that update today, and have no issues. It was primarily a security update, so unless there is a good reason that so far id unidentified, updating seems a good idea to me.

Works for me on MX-18.3 :

I accepted today's updates and VLC has no issues running on my system after the upgrade at all. Instead of spreading FUD, if you're having an issue with VLC on your system post-upgrade please post a proper help request.

But my vlc is NOT broken!

Looks like it's something on your system I'm afraid:

Don't know what could be wrong with my system that causes it to reject debian's update.

Please post the output of MX Tools, Quick System Info so we can take a look.

Also post the history output (you can find that in synaptic with a bit of looking) of what you just upgraded
