Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

I attempted to install recommended updates.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

I ran the update tool when prompted.

   * What was the outcome of this action?

This error message:

<html>Dependency resolution failed:<br/><br/>The following packages have unmet
dependencies:
  mesa-libgallium: Breaks: mesa-va-drivers (< 25.2.8-3)
                   Breaks: mesa-vdpau-drivers (< 25.2.8-3) but
25.2.8-2~mx25ahs is to be installed
  mesa-va-drivers: Depends: mesa-libgallium (= 25.2.8-2~mx25ahs) but
25.3.3-1~mx25ahs is to be installed
</html>

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

I expected all updates to be installed.

Hello,

Similar issue on one of my machines running Testing where I could not
upgrade mesa-libgallium to the latest version in the repository. What I
did to solve the problem was to remove the package mesa-va-driver, as I
noticed that it is now a virtual-package, provided by mesa-libgallium.

However, mesa-va-driver is still a regular package in Sid at version
25.2.8-2, while mesa-libgallium is at version 25.3.3-1. I wonder if the
transition to a virtual package is what caused this problem.
