Segmentationfault

Amongst the Hardy upgrades was lib6-2.7-10.

Can this be the culprit?

Solved it!

It was rather simple; started a film from terminal with parameter -vv and saw that the seg fault happend when trying to update.
Edited vlcrc and changed to 199 days interval for updating and set notification to 0 (zero).

Worked!
