Bug#626861: Obsolete version of vdpau-va-driver causes fatal error nvidia_drv_video.so has no function __vaDriverInit_0_32

[Carlos Lopez]

Package: vdpau-va-driver
Version: 0.7.3-1
Severity: important
Tags: sid

The current version of the package vdpau-va-driver is obsolete (0.6.3).
Upstream has the version (0.7.3).

This causes that vdpau won't works with recent nvidia drivers:

# vainfo
libva: libva version 0.32.0
Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
libva: va_getDriverName() returns 0
libva: Trying to open /usr/lib/dri/nvidia_drv_video.so
libva error: /usr/lib/dri/nvidia_drv_video.so has no function
__vaDriverInit_0_32
libva: va_openDriver() returns -1
vaInitialize failed with error code -1 (unknown libva error),exit

But if I download and compile last upstream version all work as expected:

mkdir /tmp/vdpau
cd /tmp/vdpau
apt-get source vdpau-va-driver
wget http://www.splitted-desktop.com/~gbeauchesne/vdpau-video/vdpau-
video-0.7.3.tar.gz
tar xfzv vdpau-video-0.7.3.tar.gz
cp -r vdpau-video-0.6.3/debian vdpau-video-0.7.3
cd vdpau-video-0.7.3/
cp debian.upstream/rules debian/
pico debian/changelog # change version
rm -fr debian/patches/
debuild
cd ..
dpkg -i vdpau-va-driver_0.7.3-1_amd64.deb
