I am able to confirm the problem in current wheezy:

Preparing to replace libvlc5 1.1.3-1squeeze6 (using
.../libvlc5_2.0.3-4_i386.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement libvlc5 ...
Processing triggers for vlc-nox ...
/usr/lib/vlc/vlc-cache-gen: error while loading shared libraries:
libvlccore.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or
directory
dpkg: error processing vlc-nox (--unpack):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 127

and I am happy to confirm that your proposed patch fixes the problem.

Benjamin, can you upload it to t-p-u?
