Description Andrew Shark 2019-06-22 02:27:09 UTC

19.20-812932 release for Ubuntu
mesa-amdgpu-va-drivers_18.3.0-812932_amd64.deb and mesa-amdgpu-va-drivers_18.3.0-812932_i386.deb have such dependencies:
libva1-amdgpu | libva2-amdgpu | libva1 | libva2

mesa-amdgpu-vdpau-drivers_18.3.0-812932_amd64.deb and mesa-amdgpu-vdpau-drivers_18.3.0-812932_i386.deb have such:
libvdpau1-amdgpu | libvdpau1

But libva1-amdgpu, libva2-amdgpu, libvdpau1-amdgpu do not exist neither in ubuntu repos, nor provided by bundled archive.

Is there any special intent to add such alternative dependencies?

Ubuntu packaging issue; this needs to be reported to Ubuntu instead.

Comment 2 Eric Engestrom 2019-06-22 17:57:18 UTC

TIL AMD does its support via our bugzilla...

Thanks for the input.

This is more of a "in case we need them" situation.

I believe our RHEL driver includes these packages since they do not come in the standard RHEL repos, but we don't have the limitation with Ubuntu, or at least not right now.

FWIW, it doesn't make much sense to have libva1* as alternatives for libva2*. Different SONAME means incompatible ABI, so something linked against the libva2 ABI generally isn't expected to work with something providing the libva1 ABI.
