Package: vlc
Version: 2.2.1-5+b1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

     When starting vlc on my debian testing system, I received the
following note:

(Error message start)

VLC media player 2.2.1 Terry Pratchett (Weatherwax) (revision 2.2.1-0-
ga425c42)
[0000000001bd4158] 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.

(End of error Message)


I tried to apt-get install --reinstall vlc or even apt-get purge vlc
but the problem persisted. The error code after the crash is 137.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

     I installed package libqt5xcbqpa5. vlc does not seem to declare a
dependency on this package, however. Please consider adding a
dependency on this package.

   * What was the outcome of this action?

     Problem solved.
