Recent previous topics reported no Matroska support

VLC old 2022 bug regression, .mkv subtitles throw error is back
that could have been resolved minimally:
$ pamac install vlc-plugin-matroska
To install (3):
libebml 1.4.5-1 (Required By: vlc-plugin-matroska) extra 71.4 kB
libmatroska 1.7.1-2 (Required By: vlc-plugin-matroska) extra 133.1 kB
vlc-plugin-matroska 3.0.21-28 extra 187.6 kB
Total download size: 392.1 kB
Total installed size: 1.5 MB
but both users accepted a less minimal “unenlightened” suggestion:
$ pamac install vlc-plugins-all
To install (72):
Total download size: 27.8 MB
Total installed size: 124.5 MB
Manjaro team should also consider vlc-plugin-srt (15.7kB) for subtitle support
