[Bug 379020] [NEW] Update VLC to _1.0.0~rc1+20090516 and problem with 3 packages

[VangelistX]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: vlc

I updated the official vlc 0.9.9 from Ubuntu Jaunty repositories with
vlc_1.0.0~rc1+20090516-0ubuntu1~kow2_i386.deb from the Launchpad PPA.

(See: http://webupd8.blogspot.com/2009/05/install-vlc-10-rc-in-ubuntu-
from-ppa.html )

Before the update the vlc-nox package (and a few other vlc packages -
pluguins, vlc-plugin-esd 0.9.9a-2ubuntu1 for example) was installed with
vlc 0.9.9 release. I didn't noticed any conflicts with these two
packages and the vlc 0.9.9 version.

THE PROBLEMS/BUGS NOTICED DURING UPDATE VLC from version 0.9.9 to 1.0.0
rc1:

1. When trying to update the current vlc 0.9.9 installation the
following bug appeared:

"E:
/var/cache/apt/archives/vlc_1.0.0~rc1+20090516-0ubuntu1~kow2_i386.deb:
an attempt to overwritte"/usr/lib/vlc/video_output/libcaca_plugin.so",
which exists also in vlc-nox package"

Although the bug appeared, I managed to install the vlc 1.0.0 rc1 version via Synaptic.
This bug may appear only if the vlc-nox package have already been installed with 0.9.9 version. 
It's not hard to fix it in the new installer.

2. During installation I was forced to install the oldish (20070626-1, 14.3 MB of disc space) videolan-doc package, which I didn't need with the previous vlc version. 
I think this dependency should be removed or the documentation file should be updated and installed only on demand.

3. The vlc-plugin-esd 0.9.9a-2ubuntu1 (jaunty) is not compatible with the vlc_1.0.0~rc1+20090516
Is this oldish plugin useful nowadays?


IMHO, these 3 minor bugs should be fixed before the vlc 1.0.0 release.
