Bug Description

I was trying to figure out if VAAPI would be supported on my hardware. I came across http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2104318 and tried to run vainfo which gave me

$ vainfo --help
libva info: VA-API version 0.34.0
libva info: va_getDriverName() returns 0
libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/dri/i965_drv_video.so
libva info: va_openDriver() returns -1
vaInitialize failed with error code -1 (unknown libva error),exit

digging around I found that I was apparently missing a dependency or should I say the vainfo package misses to declare it?

$ ll /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/dri/i965_drv_video.so
ls: cannot access /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/dri/i965_drv_video.so: No such file or directory
$ apt-file search /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/dri/i965_drv_video.so
i965-va-driver: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/dri/i965_drv_video.so
