Unfortunately, VLC in Debian has the binaries in vlc-bin package. This causes issues with GNOME Software and other modern package managers. Please, consider dropping the vlc-bin package and moving its content to the vlc package.

What is the actual problem you are seeing? Installing vlc works fine for
me with GNOME Software.
