Bug#862559: pcsx2 should depend on libgl1-mesa-dri (GS plugin doesn't initialize without it)

[Diego Casas]

Package: pcsx2
Version: 1.4.0+dfsg-2
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I tried to boot a PS2 rom, but pcsx2 doesn't open the GS plugin.

I got this:

Opening plugins...

(p) GS plugin failed to open!(thread:MTGS)(thread:EE Core)
User-canceled plugin configuration after plugin initialization failure.
Plugins unloaded.



I found that installing libgl1-mesa-dri solves the problem.

i965_dri.so and swrast_dri.so are necessary to start the
plugin GSdx (GCC 5.3.1, SSE2) 1.0.0 [libGSdx-1.0.0], and
they are provided by libgl1-mesa-dri.

Given that pcsx2 comes only with GSdx, and GSdx depends on
*_dri.so files, pcsx2 should depend on libgl1-mesa-dri.
