Comment 29 for bug 1532631

I hate to beat a dead horse :), but I think we should simply delete taglib from our PPA entirely.

As I've said dozens of times, this is not the way Linux packaging is supposed to work -- we can't customize the product experience on Linux distros because we are part of a larger ecosystem, and by doing so we just create headaches (e.g. where Clementine and Mixxx have version conflicts).

On Windows and macOS we have total control over the versioning of our dependencies, and if a crash comes along caused by one of our dependencies, it's on us to deliver the fix to users -- on Linux it's not our responsibility or our place to be forcing users to upgrade libraries. The upgrade might have unintended consequences, introducing new crashes or bugs in Mixxx or in other applications, or simply prevent them from being installed due to version conflicts.

People use old distros in part for stability, and this upgrade may be undesired from that perspective too. If users want the latest bleeding edge version of libraries they should upgrade to 18.04 or switch to a rolling release distro :).
