[pkg-nvidia-devel] Bug#566518: nvidia-vdpau-driver: bad /usr/lib/libvdpau_nvidia.so symlink

[Jonathan Dray]

Package: nvidia-vdpau-driver
Version: 190.53-1
Severity: grave

Hello,

I think I have more information on this.


After investigating on how to enable vdpau with nvidia driver, I found
that you have to install one the following packages :

  - nvidia-libvdpau1 : which is not installable because of a
dependency issue. See bug report #566691
(http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=566691)
I successfully compiled and installed it from sources. I edited
dependencies configuration file (control file in debian directory) to
fix nvidia driver package name.
The problem now is that I have 2 libvdpau.so.190.53 files :

    - one provided by nvidia-vdpau-driver located in
/usr/lib/vdpau/libvdpau.so.190.53

    - another one provided by nvidia-libvdpau1 : /usr/lib/libvdpau.so.190.53

All the symlinks (libvdpau.so, libvdpau.so.1 and libvdpau_nvidia.so)
refer to  /usr/lib/libvdpau.so.190.53.
Thus, /usr/lib/vdpau/libvdpau.so.190.53 is not used ...
Something is still wrong with this configuration and I need to make
some test to see if it even works !


  - libvdpau1 : which is installable and provides a version of .
However, the /usr/lib/libvdpau_nvidia.so symlink remains broken as it
still points to /usr/lib/libvdpau.so.190.53 which is not provided by
this package.

Does someone have more information on that point ?

Thanks,

Jonathan Dray
