  • You have to run ppa-purge for thirdparty PPA repository which provides vdpau and then resume package installation. – N0rbert Oct 20 '21 at 21:22
  • Thank you for your answer. I had tried PPA repositories, but they are good only for old Ubuntu versions, like 12.04 - 16.04. I am searching for ubuntu 18.04. Any suggestions? – silver Oct 21 '21 at 10:06
  • Please add output of apt-cache policy libvdpau-dev libvdpau1 to the question along with grep -ir ^deb /etc/apt --include="*.list". – N0rbert Oct 21 '21 at 20:25
  • Thanks. I will try your advice and soon replay you. – silver Oct 26 '21 at 08:01
