It looks like we have a package dead lock in Trusty related to portaudio.

As Reported in https://bugs.launchpad.net/mixxx/+bug/1326653

sudo apt-get build-dep mixxx

fails with

The following packages have unmet dependencies: libjack-dev : Depends: libjack0 (= 1:0.121.3+20120418git75e3e20b-2.1ubuntu1) but it is not going to be installed

a separate:

sudo apt-get install libjack-dev libjack0 portaudio19-dev

solves the issue.

However, it removes

libjack-jackd2-0

I will ask the portaudio mailing list.

Any update on this? IMO this should be resolved so when 1.12 is released 'apt-get build-dep mixxx' is all that is needed to install dependencies for compilation.

jack packaging is a disaster. You can either install jackd1 or jackd2, but not both. But weirdly, if you install a package that requires jackdX, you can then install jackdY instead and it usually allows you to do so, removing jackdX but not all of the stuff that "required" it. Anyway this is not really our problem, it's a problem with jack in general.

(I think the solution might be not to require jack at all, just make it optional)

It's annoying because I can't build Mixxx and install qjackctl in the same machine :(

There is a similar debian bug: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=718221

I have already contact the portaudio mailing list, but there is still no solution.

I think we should go with comment #⁠3 here, because it appears portaudio isn't going to respond to us any time soon.

The most irritating thing is that compiling from source is the only way to get mp4 support on Linux right now. I wouldn't have an issue otherwise.

Xenial 16.4 is also affected.

Focal 20.04 is also affected.

In fact, if you have jackd2 installed, it tries to remove and downgrade to jacked1.

It's known in Portaudio, but it's an Ubuntu/Debian problem: https://portaudio.music.columbia.narkive.com/ld2CfDx4/packages-conflicts-in-ubuntu-trusty
