Context: I purchased Cyberpunk 2077, and according to some articles (here, and here) - mesa-va-drivers
20.1+ are required.
I found the packages for mesa-va-drivers
here, and followed the Howto on setting it up. After running sudo apt update
, it says that updates are available, as shown below:
Listing... Done
mesa-va-drivers/focal-proposed 20.2.1-1~ubuntu0.20.04.2 amd64 [upgradable from: 20.0.8-0ubuntu1~20.04.1]
mesa-va-drivers/focal-proposed 20.2.1-1~ubuntu0.20.04.2 i386 [upgradable from: 20.0.8-0ubuntu1~20.04.1]
After attempting an upgrade, I get the following message:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
mesa-va-drivers : Depends: libllvm11 (>= 1:9~svn298832-1~) but it is not installable
Breaks: mesa-va-drivers:i386 (!= 20.2.1-1~ubuntu0.20.04.2) but 20.0.8-0ubuntu1~20.04.1 is to be installed
mesa-va-drivers:i386 : Breaks: mesa-va-drivers (!= 20.0.8-0ubuntu1~20.04.1) but 20.2.1-1~ubuntu0.20.04.2 is to be installed
E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.
If it is relevant, I am using an AMD GPU (RX 580). Here is the output of uname -a
(hostname omitted):
Linux 5.4.0-56-generic #62-Ubuntu SMP Mon Nov 23 19:20:19 UTC 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
apt-cache policy mesa-va-drivers:i386 mesa-va-drivers libllvm11
sudo apt update
You need both libllvm11 & libllvm11:i386, both of which are certainly available in focal-proposedsudo apt install libllvm11
, but it simply says there's no installation candidate. And yes, I did usesudo apt update
before trying that command.
