Hi
If you run Tinycore Linux 64 bit vlc and wonder why you have lost the desktop icon, wonder no longer.
There is a gremlin in the desktop file. Downstream maintainer must have worked on 2 packages at once and forgot which package he was updating?
He thinks it needs beaver.png as per image

There are 2 solutions
Either load squashfs-tools unpack fix and repack vlc.tcz or my lazy way
add a true file (not a sym link) to your mydata file with file editted by root so it reads.....the correct name of the png fullpathway
cat /usr/local/share/applications/vlc.desktop
Code:

Once file is corrected go to control panel -> backup -> tab for files included for backup and then add correct file
when Apps shows there is an update for this package, and desktop is fixed you can remove file from your backup
good luck
