This is a tricky bug to identify, but luckily, easy to fix. The issue is that the symbol vaDisplayIsValid moved from libva-X11.so to libva.so. vlc's libavcodec_plugin.so in squeeze however, is only linked against libva-x11.so. This means that using vlc from experimental will should solve this problem by itself. Note that I did not test this myself, so it would be great if someone can confirm this. For upgrade purposes, I'm going to add a 'Breaks: vlc-nox (<< 1.1.5-3)' to the next libva upload. This should force to upgrade vlc as well and avoid this bug. -- Gruesse/greetings, Reinhard Tartler, KeyID 945348A4 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
