Installed was vlc 0.8.6g-1 and now it will force a downgrade. Is this correct?

Re: VLC downgrade?

yes it's correct. From svn log: "was contacted by developer who said the new release is bad".  The new release refered to is  0.8.6g,

Re: VLC downgrade?

I confirm I had problems with the 0.8.6g version. VLC segfaulted often without any warning and when doing normal operations. I had to downgrade quickly too.
