Hi,

During the last week or so, I had VLC broken on ASCII.

The solution to get back VLC working was to manually inspect the
installed VLC dependencies for their version numbers. I compared those
numbers with what an installation simulation of vlc proposed as
dependency versions. Doing that, I noted the versions did not agree:
what was installed was newer than what I should have been installed.

Manually replacing the incorrect dependencies with those required by
the simulation solved the issue.

I didn't adopt the solution as suggested by KatolaZ because I updated
my ASCII installation on the 25th June 2017 which falls outside the
time window when the repository glitch was active.
