Sorry abut that.  I guess it's mainly a Teaching Moment for me.  With
Ubuntu, every Kernel Upgrade was handled this way, which had prompted my
prior comment, criticizing Ubuntu.

libvlccore8 is based on VLC version 2 and libvlccore9 is based on VLC 3.

And, of course, the Version Upgrade is for a very good reason. (The
vulnerability description is fascinating!)
