Have you tried aptitude install vlc -r yet?  That switch on the end

didn't know about that. didn't yield very much (line wraps ahead):

sudo aptitude install vlc -r
vlc is already installed at the requested version (1:3.0.10-dmo0+deb10u1) vlc is already installed at the requested version (1:3.0.10-dmo0+deb10u1)

If your /etc/apt/sources.list file hasn't got the non-free repositories enabled you may want to do that too.

Q4OS puts everything in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/; always makes me a tad nervous. anyway, one of the files there, '20_debian.list' has non-free on all the active lines.

will quote it for good measure (some line wrapping):

# Q4OS essential repository
# **** !!! NEVER touch this CRITICAL system file **** !!!

##deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ buster main contrib non-free
