Hi Roland,

I have the same error messages but without Segmentation fault and the video works.

mintppc@debian:~$ vlc

Strange... Did you earlier lock 'mesa' to an older version as adviced by mintppc, due to some problem in a newer version?

In my system these files are 'pinned' to v. 24.1.6-1 :
libegl-mesa0
libgbm1
libgl1-mesa.dri
libglapi-mesa
libosmesa6

There is a newer version available of some of them.

I got now OpenGLworking again with VLC! The problem seemed to be that some of the Mesa components were not locked and had been updated to the 25.xxx version. I did run though, the 'Mesa script' some times earlier... Shouldn't it have locked all the Mesa components? Or is it that Synaptic which I use for updates does not respect locking performed directly with APT? I did now pin them manually from Synaptic, too.

Good to know. Thanks for reporting!
