Xubuntu-restricted-extras depends on PulseAudio while it shouldn't

[Steve Dodier-Lazaro]

Binary package hint: xubuntu-restricted-extras

X-r-e currently installs PulseAudio in Karmic while it shouldn't install any PA-related package.

[Nick Ellery (nick.ellery)]

Please justify why this depends is necessary.

[Steve Dodier-Lazaro (sidi)]

I'm stating that x-r-e depends on PA, which is the title of the bug. Nonely that it should depend on it.

[Sarah Kowalik (hobbsee-deactivatedaccount)]

This report makes no sense.

Are you saying that x-r-e depends on PA, and should not?

Or that x-r-e does not depend on PA, and should?

Please restate what you're wanting in valid English.

Updated the title / description to make it more clear. Please don't invalidate this report and don't remove the assignee, Cody asked it to me in order not to forget to manage it.

Steve: Thanks for filing this bug report. However, no need to assign the bug to me directly.

Nick, Sarah: Thanks for helping triage this bug. Steve is still learning the ropes of Launchpad and the Ubuntu community.

Cheers,

I can confirm this bug on my Xubuntu Jaunty x64. Whenever I tried to install xubuntu-restricted-extras Synaptic always asked me to install PulseAudio along with it.

I checked the dependency and found that PulseAudio is not on the dependency list, yet Synaptic wants to install it.

I don't want to install PulseAudio. It is not friendly to me.
