Deleting jackd2 and reinstalling it leaves pipewire-jack in the system #53

Open peonerow opened 1 year ago

Distribution (run cat /etc/os-release):

Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS

Related Application and/or Package Version (run apt policy $PACKAGE NAME):

jackd2: Installed: 1.9.20~dfsg-1 Candidate: 1.9.20~dfsg-1 Version table: *** 1.9.20~dfsg-1 500 500 http://apt.pop-os.org/ubuntu jammy/universe amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Issue/Bug Description:

Deleting jackd2 with sudo apt remove jackd2 will install all these packages: jackd1 jackd1-firewire libjack0 libspa-0.2-jack pipewire-jack. After reinstalling jackd2 with sudo apt install jackd2 the following packages are removed: jackd1 jackd1-firewire libjack0 (notice that pipewire-jack is missing from the list).

This ends up leaving both jack2 and pipewire-jack on the system, breaking jack. In my case, the only driver it could access was dummy. Deleting pipewire-jack with sudo apt remove pipewire-jack fixes the issue.

Steps to reproduce (if you know):

(I don't know if the system originally comes with pipewire-jack or jackd2, but I will assume that it's jackd2)

sudo apt remove jackd2 sudo apt install jackd2

Expected behavior:

pipewire-jack taking priority over jackd2, making it unable to see any drivers like ALSA.

Other Notes:

Seems like an oversight. Additionally I don't know it's a debian/ubuntu repository issue. I encountered it on Pop, so that's why I'm reporting it here.

It's how apt is designed. If you want to remove orphaned packages you have to use the autoremove command or flag.

If the resulting configuration breaks JACK, then maybe pipewire-jack should conflict with jackd2 or something?

Worth noting for how this issue is worded, jackd2 is not installed by default; pipewire-jack is. Does the issue also occur the first time you install jackd2, or only after installing, removing, and then installing again?

pipewire-jack is packaged by Pop!_OS in the PipeWire repository, so I'm transferring the issue there. (jackd2 is packaged by Ubuntu; you can see the difference with apt policy pipewire-jack jackd2.)
