Public bug reported: The lubuntu-desktop package depends on pavucontrol-qt, which in turn depends on pulseaudio, meaning that PulseAudio is forced upon anyone who wants to use Ubuntu's LXQt flavor. This is problematic for those of us to whom PulseAudio is intolerable, and for those who simply prefer an ALSA-only system. It also seems unnecessary, given that the xubuntu- desktop package merely "recommends" pavucontrol, and pavucontrol merely "recommends" pulseaudio.
Please downgrade these dependencies from "depends" to "recommends" or "suggests". ** Affects: lubuntu-meta (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: pavucontrol-qt (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: pavucontrol-qt (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1816278 Title: lubuntu-desktop requires pulseaudio to be installed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lubuntu-meta/+bug/1816278/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
