Comment 1 for bug 1866356

Just tried build:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/intel-vaapi-driver/2.3.0-0ubuntu2

had to install dependencies of:
sudo apt-get install libva-dev

Appears to be the same issue present in current vaapi driver.

See traceback from ninja -C build/ install

I'm going to try a later version, perhaps 2.4.0
