[Bug 1778908] [NEW] 16.04 libtag dependancy issues

[Dale]

Public bug reported:

This issue has come up from trying to install Mixxx from their official
LaunchPad host ppa and it appears to reference libtag1-vanilla, which
does appear to exist in 16.04 but I believe should be superseded by
libtag1v5-vanilla, yet it doesn't seem to recognise as such. As it then
can't be manually installed or the other removed I think there is a
deeper issue with this package than just Mixxx having the wrong one down
as a dependency.

This has been reported to the Mixxx developers on their forum about a
week ago but no official response as yet...

I've run this in a virtual box but there are multiple users who have
reported this on their main systems (at least four I've seen.)
