Public bug reported:
I'm trying to get Firefox to use the VA-API for hardware video decoding.
I've installed vainfo which tells me:
Trying display: wayland
libva info: VA-API version 1.22.0
libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/radeonsi_drv_video.so
libva info: va_openDriver() returns -1
vaInitialize failed with error code -1 (unknown libva error),exit
So radeonsi_drv_video.so is missing. Google told me to install mesa-va-
drivers, but that fails with:
sudo apt install mesa-va-drivers
Solving dependencies... Error!
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
Unsatisfied dependencies:
mesa-va-drivers : Depends: mesa-libgallium (= 25.0.3-1ubuntu2) but
25.0.7-0ubuntu0.25.04.2 is to be installed
Error: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
Error: The following information from --solver 3.0 may provide additional
context:
Unable to satisfy dependencies. Reached two conflicting decisions:
1. mesa-libgallium:amd64=25.0.3-1ubuntu2 is not selected for install
2. mesa-libgallium:amd64=25.0.3-1ubuntu2 is selected as a downgrade because:
1. mesa-va-drivers:amd64=25.0.3-1ubuntu2 is selected for install
2. mesa-va-drivers:amd64 Depends mesa-libgallium (= 25.0.3-1ubuntu2)
I am not using any PPA, only official Ubuntu packages, so seeing this kind of
dependency bug is strange.
