Yeap, but this has been resolved during the night. The main part of these 
errors go away if you give the repo time to sync. Since 3 am last night a full 
TW update included the VLC problematic (that previously existed, sure) 
succeeded (5,9 GB of data) without a single hickup. 

So was so yesterday, since 3 am "works for me".
