Bug Description
[Impact]
VLC has received a bugfix update on the 3.0.x release path, which was recommended to us by Debian for additional stability in the Long Term Support release.
[Test Case]
Install vlc from bionic-proposed and test it for a decent amount of time. Play different video formats to catch any regressions, and use it as you normally would.
[Regression Potential]
The 3.0.x branch receives only bug fixes, which are cherry-picked from the master branch where the main development takes place. So, I think the regression potential is low.
