Package: jackd2
Version: 2:1.9.12-1~kxstudio1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
Today, I tried to use my audio workstation (qtractor) to do some editing, only
to discover that Cadence had been uninstalled. I went to reinstall and run it,
and found that jackdbus was missing, and a cursory search revealed that jackd2
was no longer on my system.
Now, I had previously installed jackd2 as part of setting up my DAW, so this
seemed fishy. So I went to install it again, and found that it was missing
libreadline6.
To my utter shock, libreadline6 had packages for Sid, Jessie, and Wheezy--but
not for Stretch. I ended up installing an older version manually by downloading
the .deb from the website, which will no doubt make future updates very fun.
My question is: how did this happen? Trying to install jackd2 on a fresh
Stretch install would have revealed this issue immediately. In fact, the entire
reason I'm using Debian right now is because this sort of thing is actively
prevented by Debian's package maintenance process. I've been resisting the urge
to channel the spirit of Torvalds into this email :P
Now, I *have* been installing some packages from external repos, and I've been
doing some fiddling with gdebi and such. But given that the required dependency
is literally missing from stretch's repos, something tells me that's the
problem.
