tuxguitar-oss installation conflict between osspd and oss-compat

[Adrien Loxq]

I'm currently running 14.04.1 and I try to install tuxguitar (version 1.2-17) from official repository.
This package recommends tuxguitar-alsa and tuxguitar-oss.

The package tuxguitar-oss depends on package osspd which is marked as conflict with oss-compat but oss-compat recommends osspd. We have here a circular dependency/conflict.

By default, doing "aptitude install tuxguitar" fails with conflict on oss-compat.

On my computer I fixed the problem doing "aptitude install tuxguitar tuxguitar-alsa --without-recommends"

The default behaviour of aptitude is to install recommended packages which prevents the installation of the package tuxguitar without the --without-recommends option.

I think, tuxguitar-alsa and tuxguitar-oss shouldn't be both recommended.
