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 ** Changed in: pulseaudio (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Fix Committed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to pulseaudio in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1858164 Title: libpulse-dev needs a rebuild for libpulse0-1:11.1-1ubuntu7.5 on bionic-updates Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu: Fix Committed Bug description: 1) The release of Ubuntu you are using: $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS Release: 18.04 2) The version of the package you are using: $ dpkg -l | grep libpulse ii libpulse-mainloop-glib0:amd64 1:11.1-1ubuntu7.5 amd64 PulseAudio client libraries (glib support) ii libpulse0:amd64 1:11.1-1ubuntu7.5 amd64 PulseAudio client libraries ii libpulse0:i386 1:11.1-1ubuntu7.5 i386 PulseAudio client libraries ii libpulsedsp:amd64 1:11.1-1ubuntu7.5 amd64 PulseAudio OSS pre-load library 3) What you expected to happen "sudo apt install libpulse-dev" should installed libpulse-dev. 4) What happened instead $ sudo apt install libpulse-dev Reading package lists...
