Comment 165 for bug 445849

Jerther:

Okay, I think there are problems with me installing lirc pulseaudio packages with lirc not installed, or other things like avahi. I guess I did not catch this because I had the packages installed. However, trying it in a clean chroot revealed the issues.

It seems like all that needs to be done is to type "sudo apt-get install -f" afterwards with "sudo dpkg -i --force-all *.deb" before that instead of "sudo dpkg -i *.deb" in the script. This will have the side effect of installing a few more packages on your system pertaining to audio although it should fix package issues. Also you can just try doing "sudo dpkg -i --force-all *.deb" and "sudo apt-get install -f" even after the fact, at any time, to fix the problems. Nothing I've told you so far should be irreversible. I'm not sure if this could account for some issues you're having but I really do need an entire log. I attached what happened with a barebones non-desktop system (maybe even missing a few packages you might have).

Right now, I really want to test the binary fix (it's deep in there somewhere), not the script, so ideally it would be written so you do not have to install these extra packages. I mean, you could just add my launchpad ppa to your sources.list. It would probably be more reliable this way, but there's no reason we can't get it working like this either.

However, I cannot test pulseaudio within my chroot for many reasons. If we cannot fix it like this I will have to try it in a virtual machine.

I attached a log of package issues with the chroot. At the end I execute this, which prove there should be no package dependency problems.
