[Bug 2033440] Re: ubuntu-desktop: unnecessary hard "Depends: pipewire-audio"

[Erich Eickmeyer]

** Summary changed:

- ubuntustudio-installer: error occurred while applying changes
+ ubuntu-desktop: unnecessary hard "Depends: pipewire-audio"

** Description changed:

+ Recommend demoting pipewire-audio from Depends: to Recommends:.
  
- I have installed successfully the standard Ubuntu 23.04 (on a 500 GB external USB drive). Immediately after the installation, I have also installed with apt the "ubuntustudio-installer" package.
+ Reason: While it's not ideal, the Ubuntu Desktop can still function on
+ the pulseaudio backend rather than using the direct pipewire-alsa
+ backend which conflicts with the pulseaudio package. This would help
+ people who wish to have a more traditional JACK setup that is bridged to
+ pulseaudio. Right now, this setup is incompatible.

  In the dialog provided by the ubuntustudio-installer, I have selected
  the following metapackages:
  
  - linux-lowlatency
  - ubuntustudio-lowlatency-settings
  - ubuntustudio-performance-tweaks
  - ubuntustudio-audio
  - ubuntu-pulseaudio-config
  
  and pressed "Modify installed Package Selection"
  
  After a while a "qaptbatch" dialog has appeared with title
  
  "Commit Error"
  
  and message
  
  "An error occurred while applying changes"
  
  So the installation has failed. Then I have tried to manually install
  each metapackage in the list above with apt and every package was
  installed successfully.
