Bug#704801: libva-intel-vaapi-driver: Intel video i915_drv_video.so fails to load

[Gerard Kam]

Package: libva-intel-vaapi-driver
Version: 1.0.20-1
Severity: important

Using Debian wheezy on an old Dell Diemension 3000, and cannot get libva
working. Originally had version 0.32, and installed experimental packages with
same results:

$ vainfo
libva info: VA-API version 0.33.0
libva info: va_getDriverName() returns 0
libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/dri/i915_drv_video.so
libva error: dlopen of /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/dri/i915_drv_video.so failed:
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/dri/i915_drv_video.so: undefined symbol:
_glapi_tls_Context
libva info: va_openDriver() returns -1
vaInitialize failed with error code -1 (unknown libva error),exit
$ uname -a
Linux d3000 3.2.0-4-686-pae #1 SMP Debian 3.2.41-2 i686 GNU/Linux
$

The undefined symbol is in libglapi.so.0.0.0,
which is in package libglapi-mesa.
Version 8.0.5-4 is already the newest version of libglapi-mesa.

This awfully smells like bug #491520, but that's fixed ages ago.

Indeed.

I'm tagging this bug as 'help', and seek assistance from the mesa
maintainers. Is this something that can be fixed by adding appropriate
Dependencies and Break relationship fields to the packages?

Where is this file from? i965-va-driver ships i965_drv_video.so, but not
i915_drv_video.so and never has as far as I can tell. Did you create a
symlink like Dominique?

If libva doesn't load i965-va-driver automatically your hardware is
probably not supported by i965-va-driver. If I'm not mistaken, anything
before GMA 4500 series GPUs is unsupported. So it doesn't make sense to
ship the symlink since the driver wouldn't work with i915 hardware
anyway.

But anyway, new versions have been uploaded in the meantime. What's the
status of this bug with 1.3.1-1?
