Public bug reported:

PulseAudio Preferences (paprefs) appears to be searching for modules in
the wrong location.

Specifically, the "install" button appears when modules relevant modules
cannot be found by paprefs.


paprefs is searching for modules in the location: /usr/lib/pulse-13.99/modules/
the modules are actually located in: /usr/lib/pulse-13.99.1/modules/

The specifics of this were determined via `strace paprefs`, which (among
a lot of other things), produces:

access("/usr/lib/pulse-13.99/modules/module-esound-protocol-tcp.so", F_OK) = -1 
ENOENT (No such file or directory)
access("/usr/lib/pulse-13.99/modules/module-native-protocol-tcp.so", F_OK) = -1 
ENOENT (No such file or directory)
access("/usr/lib/pulse-13.99/modules/module-zeroconf-publish.so", F_OK) = -1 
ENOENT (No such file or directory)
access("/usr/lib/pulse-13.99/modules/module-zeroconf-discover.so", F_OK) = -1 
ENOENT (No such file or directory)
access("/usr/lib/pulse-13.99/modules/module-raop-discover.so", F_OK) = -1 
ENOENT (No such file or directory)
access("/usr/lib/pulse-13.99/modules/module-rtp-recv.so", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No 
such file or directory)
access("/usr/lib/pulse-13.99/modules/module-rtp-send.so", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No 
such file or directory)
access("/usr/lib/pulse-13.99/modules/module-rygel-media-server.so", F_OK) = -1 
ENOENT (No such file or directory)


creating a symlink from /usr/lib/pulse-13.99.1 to /usr/lib/pulse-13.99 resolves 
the issue.

paprefs should perhaps be updated to match the version of the pulseaudio
package.
