[Bug]: vainfo shows "undefined symbol" after v25.2.0-1 on Coffee Lake CPU, i3-8100

[rizzini]

Which component impacted?

Decode, Not sure

Is it regression? Good in old configuration?

Yes, it's good in old version

What happened?

The driver stops working after v25.2.0-1 on my Coffee Lake CPU, i3-8100. I've included more details about the specs below.

What's the usage scenario when you are seeing the problem?

Playback

What impacted?

Video playback on browsers. It's what I noticed so far, at least.

Can confirm this also happens on an Core i3-6006U (Skylake), also running Arch Linux. I've even downgraded the intel-media-driver package to v25.2.0, which no longer complains about that "undefined symbol".

Can anyone confirm this also happens on other Linux distros, to check if this wasn't introduced by Arch?

[dasadi]

I'm facing the same problem with an Core i7-9750H (Coffee Lake). I'm running Manjaro. Only downgrade to v25.2.0 fixes the problem for me.

As Manjaro is Arch based this unfortunately does not prove that other distros are affected as well.
