Bug details:
When trying to upgrade the packages, apt fails while trying to upgrade vlc-plugin-access-extra.

DPKG returns the following detailed information:
dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/vlc-plugin-access-extra_3.0.17.4-2~22.04.sav1_amd64.deb (--install):
 trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/vlc/plugins/access_output/libaccess_output_srt_plugin.so', which is also in package vlc-plugin-base:amd64 3.0.17.4-2~22.04.sav1

Workaround is to temporarily uninstall vlc-plugin-access-extra, perform the upgrade, then use dpkg to manually force reinstall vlc-plugin-access-extra with the --force-overwrite flag.

This was due the switch of libaccess_output_srt_plugin.so from vlc-plugin-base to vlc-plugin-access-extra (a change merged from Debian VLC 3.0.17.3-1 package) being only half completed by mistake. This meant the plugin was actually appearing in both packages, rather than just vlc-plugin-access-extra. Should be fixed with the latest Jammy VLC 3.0.17.4-2~22.04.sav2 package uploaded to ppa:savoury1/vlc3 a few days ago.
