Please finally fix this bug by SRU or something. Rebuild VLC, vainfo and so on.
It continues to happen - see questions like https://askubuntu.com/q/1378418/66509 even with fresh Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS (20210819) installation.

Moreover I have just confirmed this bug while running vainfo on Ubuntu MATE 22.04 LTS on VAIO F13Z1 with Nvidia GT425M using 390.144 video driver. Can't play a video with VLC player (see attached log). It is unbelievable.
Fixed by using package from 18.04 LTS as follows:

```
cd ~/Downloads
wget -c http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/v/vdpau-video/vdpau-va-driver_0.7.4-6ubuntu1_amd64.deb
sudo apt-get install ./vdpau-va-driver_0.7.4-6ubuntu1_amd64.deb
```

But it absolutely unexpected for newbies and inexperienced users.
