It seems this is a side effect of a mistake made in the release and subsequent withdrawal of update 1:11.1-1ubuntu7.5. So it's not a bug in the code but is a problem people will encounter with Ubuntu updates...
This should automatically correct itself with the re-release of 1:11.1-1ubuntu7.5. In the meantime you can manually install whichever set of packages you need from either: 1:11.1-1ubuntu7.4: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/1:11.1-1ubuntu7.4/+build/17893827 1:11.1-1ubuntu7.5: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/1:11.1-1ubuntu7.5/+build/18146190 ** Tags added: bionic ** Tags added: update-reverted ** Changed in: pulseaudio (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Fix Committed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to pulseaudio in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1863186 Title: package sdl2-dev depends on outdated version of libpulse-dev Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu: Fix Committed Bug description: $ sudo apt install libsdl2-dev Reading package lists...
