Package: src:vlc
Version: 3.0.3-1-0+deb9u1
Followup-For: Bug #912080
Dear Maintainer,
VLC player is broken on debian stable. This occured at some point in the past few months when a new version of VLC was released. The symptoms, as others have reported, are that the GUI of VLC does not appear. Audio begins to play, but there is no window. Every attempt to reinstall VLC was made, including cleaning all configuration files. This is, according to the VLC forums, a bug with the VLC packages; see https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?t=135609 for an example of this issue reported on Fedora.
