Since when is this failure happening? If I understand correctly, it
manifests itself as follows:

/usr/bin/install: cannot stat './vlc.appdata.xml': No such file or directory

I can trace back one such failure at

  http://autobuild.buildroot.net/results/652/652055f4f517e5056d35495fa5e52d72a5e61b6e/build-end.log

which was with vlc 3.0.12, back in February 2021.

Also,

  http://autobuild.buildroot.net/results/fb1/fb12d981f7ebb859618bc17ed5f18a9fee1e98ee/build-end.log

which was with vlc 3.0.11, back in January 2021.

Same vlc release, September 2020.

http://autobuild.buildroot.net/results/e2b/e2b670ab75e980ab27955c3759854faa9985731b/build-end.log

This is with vlc 3.0.10, in June 2020.

http://autobuild.buildroot.net/results/f80/f80e6c1d7e11144fba8cbcde491c28554e710d06/build-end.log

This is with vlc 3.0.8 in April 2020.

http://autobuild.buildroot.net/results/e9a/e9acb796dd062d7829db9754e209bf349bf459ea/build-end.log

This is with vlc 3.0.7 in August 2019.

This is the kind of research that is needed when fixing such build
failures. We don't need to just fix it, but also figure out since when
the problem has been around, so that we know if we need to backport to
our LTS branch.

Thanks!
