Package: libgl1-mesa-dri

My journal log shows, among other weird stuff, the following error message:

Mai 10 21:01:21 AnonymizedComputerName org.gnome.Shell.desktop[1026]: MESA-LOADER: failed to open ast: /usr/lib/dri/ast_dri.so: Kann die Shared-Object-Datei nicht öffnen: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden (search paths /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri:\$${ORIGIN}/dri:/usr/lib/dri)

Mai 10 21:01:21 AnonymizedComputerName org.gnome.Shell.desktop[1026]: failed to load driver: ast



So MESA-LOADER complains that /usr/lib/dri/ast_dri.so is not found.  This is correct because on my machine, /usr/lib/dri doesn't exist and ast_dri.so doesn't exist elsewhere. Does my Aspeed chip have no driver?  Should I ever need it a VGA output, don't I get it?  My request is to deal with this error message, ideally, by introducing ast_dri.so into to Debian (or making MESA-LOADER work without it).

There is no such driver.

There is no such driver.
If such a driver doesn't exist in the world, then either the message is bogus and should be changed, or the vendor should be asked to produce the driver.

Pardon me; the first line in my previous message should have been a quotation: “There is no such driver.”  It's not my claim but a claim of Timo.
