Dear Lead Farmer,

I have exactly the same thing.
This package is linked to VLC.
I can’t update it.

Best regards,
Wallon

Thanks @Wallon, I was worried it never happened to me before.
I think will remove VLC and do a autoremove, I almost never use it.

I see The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libvlccore9 : Depends: libidn12 (>= 1.13) but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

when I attempt to install libvlccore9. However, a regular dist-upgrade does not expose this issue.
Do you actually need this package for any reason? I do not.

I don’t know other then VLC app.
The description libvlccore9 “Description: base library for VLC and its modules”, but I don’t see it in the depends of the VLC app.

Should I Just remove it?
