As this bug is obviously from mixxx PPA's side and mixxx has closed their bug report, closing this bug report as well and marking as "fix released".
If you have any similar issue on a supported Ubuntu system, please submit a new bug report instead. ** Changed in: taglib (Ubuntu) Status: New => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to taglib in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1778908 Title: 16.04 libtag dependancy issues Status in taglib package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: This issue has come up from trying to install Mixxx from their official LaunchPad host ppa and it appears to reference libtag1-vanilla, which does appear to exist in 16.04 but I believe should be superseded by libtag1v5-vanilla, yet it doesn't seem to recognise as such. As it then can't be manually installed or the other removed I think there is a deeper issue with this package than just Mixxx having the wrong one down as a dependency. This has been reported to the Mixxx developers on their forum about a week ago but no official response as yet... I've run this in a virtual box but there are multiple users who have reported this on their main systems (at least four I've seen.) osboxes@osboxes:~$ sudo apt-get update [sudo] password for osboxes: Hit:1 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-security InRelease Hit:2 http://ppa.launchpad.net/mixxx/mixxx/ubuntu xenial InRelease Hit:3 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial InRelease Hit:4 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-updates InRelease Hit:5 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-backports InRelease Reading package lists...
