Package: src:vlc Version: 2.2.4-7 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
vlc crashes immediately after start. If run from command line, it shows a segmentation fault: vlc VLC media player 2.2.4 Weatherwax (revision 2.2.3-37-g888b7e89) [0000559418a65148] core libvlc: Running vlc with the default interface. Use 'cvlc' to use vlc without interface. Segmentation fault I tried both vlc 2.2.4-7 in testing and vlc 2.2.4-8 from unstable (some vlc-related packages were updated with it too), the same happens. I ran it through valgrind, it seems that the problem is related to Qt5: ==7757== Memcheck, a memory error detector ==7757== Copyright (C) 2002-2015, and GNU GPL'd, by Julian Seward et al. ==7757== Using Valgrind-3.12.0.SVN and LibVEX; rerun with -h for copyright info ==7757== Command: vlc ==7757== [000000000708ff88] core libvlc: Running vlc with the default interface.
