Whenever I try to run VLC, I get the following error:
vlc: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libvlc.so.5: undefined symbol: vlc_object_hold
I've tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it (as well as orphaned dependencies), but that only gives me this similar error:
/usr/lib/vlc/vlc-cache-gen: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libvlc.so.5: undefined symbol: vlc_object_hold
I have only tried installing VLC from my distro's repos. I have not tried any third-party repos, nor have I tried compiling from source. I have an old version (3.0.11-1-x86) in the form of an AppImage, which works fine, but I'd like to fix this problem instead of working around it. Any ideas?
Arch GNU/Linux, x86_64. VLC 3.0.16-7 was the newest version in the repos at the time of writing.
