Bug#1031249: Re: Bug#1031249: VLC 3.0.18 crash FIXED with downgrade of libva2 libraries to 2.14.0-1

Thanks,

There was an old version of vdpau-va-driver installed in the system even though it's no longer in Debian.

Removing it allowed vlc to work with the 2.17.0-1 libva libraries.

Perhaps this should be moved to the libva bug list with a request to add a conflict with vdpau-va-driver?

thanks,

AFAICT, the bug is caused by vdpau-va-driver, which is no longer in Debian.

But of course, libva should set lay out adequate conflict statements to prevent

this from causes crashes, and forcing the package to be uninstalled.
