I spent some time to get audacity back into shape and uploaded audacity 3.2.0+dfsg-1 to Debian unstable and filed a FFe request in bug #1991252.
Regarding https://launchpadlibrarian.net/623527544/buildlog_ubuntu- kinetic-amd64.audacity_3.1.3~dfsg0-0ubuntu1~ppa4_BUILDING.txt.gz: You have to scroll up a lot to see the actual error: ``` CMake Error at cmake-proxies/cmake-modules/AudacityFunctions.cmake:140 (message): Invalid value "linked" for option audacity_use_ffmpeg.

Matching subscriptions: Ubuntu Studio Bugs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1983862 Title: Audacity 2.4.2 FTBFS with ffmpeg 5.x Status in audacity package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in audacity package in Debian: Confirmed Bug description: Audacity is a very high-profile, cross-platform application. As it stands. Audacity has been stagnant at 2.4.2 for several releases. 3.1 has been out for some time and is compatible with ffmpeg 5. At this point, we are finding our hand forced. 2.4.2 is incompatible with ffmpeg 5, and as such we must upgrade, patch, or remove. Users of Audacity would much rather see an upgrade, as I have seen in bug reports as of late, or in the #ubuntustudio chat. The biggest hurdles have been the telemetry which can be disabled by default as discussed via https://github.com/audacity/audacity/discussions/889. Note that the biggest requirement, wxwidgets, only recently got uploaded post-Feature Freeze, which otherwise would have made this FFe moot. This bug has been being worked on since prior to FFe, so IMO this is a bug fix that just happens to carry features with it, similar to what you'd find if wxwidgets had been uploaded prior to Feature Freeze. Basically, I'm hoping that some of the logic that can be applied here is that the exception is based mostly on the late upload of wxwidgets which was beyond the control of those involved. I think that having new features in an application is a better option than having it removed completely for the sake of a feature freeze in this case, especially when it's as high-profile of an application as this one. ---- Original Description: https://launchpadlibrarian.net/615233650/buildlog_ubuntu-kinetic- amd64.audacity_2.4.2~dfsg0-5build1_BUILDING.txt.gz (...)

To fix this, the package needs to be first updated to 3.1.3 (or later), and then have that patch applied.
