Thanks for the information. It is nice that the 12.2 to 12.3 stuff is
supported as an online migration now, though it appears some third-party
software (VLC) may get broken. If you can describe how you fixed it,
maybe just removing entirely and adding back from a repository for the new
version of VLC, please do.

Good luck.
