kernel module i915 - 3d-acceleration missing after update



Dear developers,

after an update, I discovered, that 3d-acceleration for the kernel-module was 
gone. I examined the logfiles and discovered an error, that the file 

/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/dri/i915_dri.so 

as well as 

/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/dri/swrast_dri.so

could not be found. This was correct, as the directories were not existent at 
all. 


Solution:
As "apt-file search i386-linux-gnu" did not show any package with this content, 
I added the directories manually and created some symlinks to i915_dri.so and 
swrast_dri.so pointing to the files /usr/lib/dri/i915_dri.so and 
/usr/lib/dri/swrast_dri.so.

Noiw it is working well again.

I think, this a bug, but I do not know, which package is responsible for this. 
Maybe someone, who knows better, might be able to fix it or file a bugreport.

Thank you for reading this.

Nice weekend!

Hans
