Bug#763279: vlc: src/searching.c:566: dvdnav_get_position: asserzione "(signed)*pos != -1" non riuscita.

Package: libdvdnav
Version: 5.0.1-1
Severity: important

Hi Debian Multimedia Maintainers,
while trying to play a DVD I got this error message:

~$ vlc

Annullato

I browsed a little bit on the network in order to find information about
this problem, and I found that in ubuntu there seems to be a fix already
committed but not yet included in a package. Please see
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libdvdnav/+bug/1236939

It seems this will be fixed in 5.0.2, but since Debian is approaching a
freeze, I hope the fix could be backported now to 5.0.1.

Bye,
Giuseppe
