[Bug 1881741] [NEW] [SRU] elisa crashed with SIGSEGV in libvlc_set_user_agent()

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

[ Impact ]

elisa is completely unusable as it will always segfault whenever any
user tries to launch the application.

The trace from the coredump showed it was trying to call a vlc api.

[ Test Plan ]

 * Execute the command "elisa" from a terminal, which will segfault if its not fixed.
 * With the fixed package, the "elisa" window will be displayed.

[ Where problems could occur ]

 * It is not changing any part of the code, rather its just adding vlc-
plugin-base as a runtime dependency. So, the chance of regression is
very less for this.

[ Other Info ]

* It was already fixed in 23.04.3-0ubuntu2 of Mantic release.
