Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
I saw the related question (https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/csound/+question/446666) and also wonder which version you are trying to install. Fwiw, I tried to install csound on an Ubuntu 16.04 system, but I did not get any error messages like this. Could you please run the following command in a terminal (it will automatically gather debugging information): apport-collect 1659127 When reporting bugs in the future please use apport by using 'ubuntu- bug' and the name of the package affected.

Why does this package stand in conlfict with ITSELF???? - i thought this would be something rather humans do than packages. But this way its really no use... 1)16.04 LTS 2)1:605~dfs91build1 3)i expected i would be able to install csound, to make it run 4) it doesn´t run. probably because csound is in conflict with itself To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/csound/+bug/1659127/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntustudio-bugs Post to : ubuntustudio-bugs@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntustudio-bugs More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
