Man, you have just screwed your system, I guess.
This is exactly how the dependiences work ;) You cannot use things
without jackd - this is why it wants to remove any problematic
pieces
prior to any installation :D
First - don't hurry. When you will ruin your system, you will
probably
loose more time. Read manuals before typing anything into console.
Secondly, if avaliable, try to download the package by hand and
install it via some primitive tool like gdebi or even dpkg - this is
handy kind of swiss army knife for packages.
Reinstalling whole this mess also should be easy - as long, as there
are aptitude and networking tools still installed, don't be
affraid of
reinstalling things. You should have packages cashed somewhere
anyway,
so download should not take too long.
After you rescue or reinstall your things - don't mess with
different
package tools, keep your things clean and do not experiment - cause
this is really tricky to experiment in depency-based package managed
systems. Use one tool only - aptitude is great, or triple- or
quadruple-check if the policies in the tools you intend to use match
exactly.
Any Ubuntu-based system REALLY is immune to any fine-tuning without
PhD in ubuntology. Use Slack or Arch if you want to play with the
system in the Linux way. I was able to delete my whole /usr (the
place
where the software goes) and have system up and running in
repairable
state.
You could always keep the newer version of your favourite soft
somewhere without installing it by package, and just run it from
where
it is.
I really hate Ubuntu family, it smells like unusable blasphemy for
me
since forever, and, being moderately experienced Linux user, I found
Ubuntu finally always breaks itself. ;)
So have fun, esp. if you are learning the hard way. This is only the
time and the software - you have both i hope, there is no need to
loose health too.
Cheers,
Luke

ok, I removed jackd via 'apt-remove'.
now if I want to *reinstall* it, aptitude wants to *remove* the
following packages:
amsynth, audacious, audacity, avidemux, avidemux-plugins, chuck,
csladspa, csound, darkice, dssi-host-jack, ecasound, fluxus, ...,
libjack-dev, libjack0, libjack0.100.0-0, libportaudio2, all pd
libs,
puredata, ..., vlc-plugin-jack, wsynth-dssi, zynaddsubfx.
WTF ?

hi Ricardo
thanks for the suggestion but I'm afraid it's a bit too tricky
for me
right now..
what I don't get is: why nearly all audio apps installed in
pure:dyne
are dependencies from jackd ? (just an example)
I would love being able to 'apt-get remove jackd' and aptitude
would
remove *only* technical dependencies (and not Ardour or
SuperCollider
packages...)
cheers,

In debian, I'd fetch the sources from unstable (having the proper
deb-src line in /etc/sources.list) with ' apt-get source jackd
' and
create a deb package from them using ' dpkg-buildpackage -
rfakeroot -b
-us -uc '. Then I'd simply replace the installed jackd with it,
without uninstalling anything. You could try the same with
sources
from newer versions from ubuntu. Just a suggestion.

hello
while trying to fix my FW sound issues (again...), I'd like to
uninstall
jackd and libffado to compile newer versions.
problem is, if I do that aptitude wants to remove (nearly) all
packages
from my system !
is there a way to remove *only one* package ?
cheers,
