Unneccesary conflict with gnome-audio

[dstar]

Binary package hint: ubuntu-sounds

ubuntu-sounds conflicts with gnome-audio; it's not immediately obvious why this is the case, as the only common file is /usr/share/sounds/card_shuffle.wav, which also happens to be the only file which ubuntu-sounds places directly in /usr/share/sounds/.

This wouldn't be a huge problem were it not for all the examples which assume you have gnome-audio installed (e.g., all the examples in /etc/pulse/default.pa point to files in gnome-sounds.

Does ubuntu-sounds really need to conflict with gnome-audio?

If it does in fact need to conflict, it might be a good idea to add a readme explaining why, so that other people aren't confused.

This conflicts-line also caused some problems in bug 446568:

It would indeed be very nice if ubuntu-sounds and gnome-audio was disjoint and installable in parallel.

Luke, could you provide some input on this?

This bug was fixed in the package ubuntu-sounds - 0.12
