Bug#1107132: Mate Core: Package should depend on pipewire-audio



Hi,

Package: mate-core

During the Trixie development cycle, Mate changed from installing a Pulseaudio setup to an only partially working Pipewire setup. This is because a package that mate depends on switched its dependency from pulseaudio to pipewire-pulse. Mates Pipewire support is not complete, because for a recommended setup, the metapackage pipewire-audio needs to also be installed, which enables Alsa support and a few other things. Pipewire-pulse only pulls in some of the recommended Pipewire packages. I am filing the bug against this package, because Gnome pulls in pipewire-audio via its gnome-core package, so mate-core seems like a good place to pull in the dependency for Mate.

The pipewire-pulse | pulseaudio (pipewire preferred as listed first) dependency hell is caused by libcanberra-pulse which is recommend by mate-desktop-environment meta package.

Let's get this fixed by pulling in the missing pipewire-audio package and done.

If you want pulseaudio daemon back, then you need to "apt install mate-desktop-environment pulseaudio".

Will upload an amended mate-desktop-environment package targetting the trixie release.
