Bug#1034694: gnome-core: Cannot install due to pipewire-audio dependency

[Jochen Sprickerhof]

Thanks for the additional information. To my understanding pipewire-alsa and pipewire-audio are put on hold on your system, not allowing it's installation. You can verify that with:

apt-mark showhold



sudo apt-mark unhold pipewire-alsa pipewire-audio



Cheers Jochen

But the latest gnome-core depends on pipewire-audio so apt can't find a solution. You can reset the state with: I can imagine apt printing a more helpful error message there but not sure what to do otherwise. I would close the bug if you agree.

Hi Jochen.

In attachment you should find debug output of apt (stdout + stderr),
as well as a dpkg status file.

If you want to reproduce the problem, I have a live-build iso image you can 
boot in qemu.

wget -c http://185.108.112.63/smooth/smooth-amd64_20230421T002521Z.iso  # 4.0GB

smooth-amd64_20230421T002521Z.iso

Run in qemu:

qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -M q35 -smp 8 -m 8192 -cdrom 
smooth-amd64_20230421T002521Z.iso

Once loaded into MATE, in terminal emulator:

sudo apt update
# optionally dist-upgrade
sudo apt install gnome-core


Hope that helps.


Thanks!

Witold
