the case of checkinstall I suggest that you try it, and if you
encounter the problem help the maintainer to fix it. It looks like the
chances of you hitting the bugs is slim though.
If all you want to do is install vlc then you can use apt pinning and
install the version from unstable.

I think if you are worried about the security afforded by ssl you might
have to rethink your approach.

Try libdb2-util instead. These are to do with the actual Berkeley DB,
rather than the perl fron

and this may be the cause. I would appreciate it if you would check

To fix the font issue you need to edit the paths of the font locations
