Package: vlc
Version: 2.2.1-5+b1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
I upgraded vlc to latest version in Debian sid. When I try to start it, I get
the message:
>>> vlc
VLC media player 2.2.1 Terry Pratchett (Weatherwax) (revision 2.2.1-0-ga425c42)
[000000000131c388] core libvlc: Running vlc with the default interface. Use 'cvlc' to use vlc without interface.
This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "xcb".
Available platform plugins are: linuxfb, minimal, minimalegl, offscreen.
Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.
I tried to 'aptitude reinstall vlc', but the above output stayed the same.
Below you'll find the output of 'vlc -vvv':
>>> vlc -vvv
