Subject: [PATCH] Fix Calamares installation failure: Replace vlc-plugins-all
 with vlc
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

This commit fixes a dependency version conflict that causes Calamares
installation to fail during the package installation phase.

The issue:
- vlc-plugins-all pulls in vlc-plugin-gstreamer → gst-plugin-va
- gst-plugin-va requires exact versions: gstreamer=1.26.10-3,
  gst-plugins-base-libs=1.26.10-3, gst-plugins-bad-libs=1.26.10-3
- During installation, pacman attempts to install version 1.26.10-2.1
- This version mismatch causes: 'error: failed to prepare transaction
  (could not satisfy dependencies)'

The fix:
- Replace vlc-plugins-all with vlc in the desktop integration package
  group
- vlc package does not pull in gst-plugin-va as a dependency
- This eliminates the version conflict entirely
- VLC media player will still be installed, just without all optional
  plugins
- Users can install vlc-plugins-all manually post-installation if needed

Files modified:
- src/modules/netinstall/netinstall.yaml (line 112)

This fix resolves the 'Package Manager error' that prevented successful
CachyOS installations via Calamares.
