Bug Description

If you try to install xvba-va-driver with fglrx-updates, it wants to install fglrx instead.
xvba-va-driver depends on fglrx-driver which fglrx-updates provides so I'm not really sure why...

Yep. I've noticed this as well. No xvba-va-driver if using fglrx-updates:

The following packages will be REMOVED:
  fglrx fglrx-amdcccle xvba-va-driver
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  fglrx-amdcccle-updates fglrx-updates

I've build for now a trivially changed xvba-va-driver package in my repository at https://launchpad.net/~maarten-fonville/+archive/ppa/+packages which has its dependencies changed to also allow fglrx-updates.

Thanks for your contribution. I'm going to go ahead and upload this fix to precise, and then oneiric-proposed. Someone from the SRU team should be around soon to accept the upload and begin the verification process.

For reference, xvba-video has a versioned dependency on fglrx-driver, and provides can't be used to satisfy a versioned dependency, which is why fglrx-updates providing fglrx-driver isn't sufficient in this case:

  If a relationship field has a version number attached, only
  real packages will be considered to see whether the
  relationship is satisfied (or the prohibition violated, for a
  conflict or breakage). In other words, if a version number is
  specified, this is a request to ignore all Provides for that
  package name and consider only real packages.

It works for me.

I have flgrx-updates installed and now xvba-video could be installed from oneiric-proposed, without flgrx-updates getting uninstalled.
