Bug#901252: vlc: Fail to launch, QPainter not active

[John Hendricks]

Source: vlc
Version: 3
Severity: grave
Tags: upstream
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

I upgraded to VLC3 from Synaptic's Mark All Updates option, the bug started
here.

I ran a complete purge of all VLC packages and reinstall via rebuild from
source.

No results, bug persisted
