I'm afraid my terminal scrollback history isn't long enough for me to see the original error. Reinstalling libjack-jackd2-dev afterwards was not a possible solution due to the vast quantity of software it wished to remove!
I wish I knew exactly what I did but after installing all the other dependencies, apart from the jack libraries and it would remove half my system, running the build-dep command just worked without complaining about dependacies that aren't going to be installed and without trying to remove any other packages. Looking around I did notice this, which seems to be a library for Port Audio using Jack2, which is what seems to be installed on most systems as far as I can tell..... x$ apt-cache show libportaudio2 Package: libportaudio2 Architecture: amd64 Version: 19.6.0-1 Multi-Arch: same Priority: optional Section: universe/libs Source: portaudio19 Origin: Ubuntu Maintainer: Ubuntu Developers <[email protected]> Original-Maintainer: Debian VoIP Team <[email protected]> Bugs: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+filebug Installed-Size: 210 Depends: libasound2 (>= 1.0.16), libc6 (>= 2.15), libjack-jackd2-0 (>= 1.9.10+20150825) | libjack-0.125 Filename: pool/universe/p/portaudio19/libportaudio2_19.6.0-1_amd64.deb Size: 64556 MD5sum: 34190a46175b757eac9bec5884b347f7 SHA1: 9e33d7302ca0e2a280c8c936e69a33b5d5db12b0 SHA256: e192f31b52833eb17881ae81c9ff0eb3469da6195d1fa30bdd3873a23bf058ee Homepage: http://www.portaudio.com/ Description-en_GB: Portable audio I/O - shared library PortAudio is a portable audio I/O library designed for cross-platform support of audio.

A solution involves uninstalling the default libjack-jackd2-0 What you expected to happen: Installing: portaudio19-dev should work without any issues on a stock install. What happened instead: The following packages have unmet dependencies: libjack-dev : Depends: libjack0 (= 1:0.121.3+20120418git75e3e20b-2.1ubuntu1) but it is not going to be installed This was original reported for Mixxx (Bug #1326653) The final build result (Mixxx) runs fine with libjack-jackd2-0 in place. Reinstalling libjack-jackd2-dev after portaudio19-dev works. libjack-dev is listed in the portaudio19-dev dependency. I do not know how libjack-jackd2-dev can satisfy this dependency, but this state should be somehow swapped.
