intel-media-driver: missing 32bit variants

Please confirm there isn't an open report for this package

• I have searched through packaging problem reports

Name

intel-media-driver

Version

24.4.4

Summary of the problem

While trying to get steam link working with my B580, i encountered system crash with HW encoding activated.

The issue seems to be steam client still being 32bit on LINUX and so its unable to load 32bit versions of encoding libraries:

$> Trying to open /usr/lib32/dri/iHD_drv_video.so

Start at the intel-media-driver package definition and its 32-bit build or packaging settings; the report's concrete target is /usr/lib32/dri/iHD_drv_video.so. Verify the Steam VA-API failure and finish when the required 32-bit driver variant is packaged and discoverable at that path.
