It could be, I guess. "Not enough time" is the usual excuse :-)

Which version of vlc did you install? Where did it come from? There must
be an incompatibility in one of the libraries that it needs. You could
try to install the suggested packages one by one to see which one boots
off vlc (so that we can know which library is the culprit).
