** Summary changed: - [SRU] Update to bugfix release 2.2.6 + [SRU] Update to bug-fix release 2.2.8 in Xenial
** Description changed: [Impact] VLC has received many bug fixes on the stable 2.2.x branch since 2.2.2 was released. I think 16.04 LTS should get these fixes. [Test Case] Install vlc from xenial-proposed and test it for at least one week. Play different video formats to catch any regressions, and use it as you normally would. [Regression Potential] The 2.2.x branch receives only bug fixes, which are cherry-picked from the master branch where the main development takes place. So, I think the regression potential is low.
