vanilla-gnome-desktop depends on pulseaudio which conflicts with pipewire

[Patrik Lundquist]

Package vanilla-gnome-desktop 0.97 depends on pulseaudio which conflicts with pipewire-alsa and pipewire-audio which in turn are required for upgrading gnome to version 43.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I suspect the "conflict" is just ALSA device usage at runtime, so doesn't need to be declared as an install-time conflict.

[stephan (ubuntugermany)]

just in case it might help someone else:
I solved the problem for me by installing pulseaudio first (sudo apt -y install pulseaudio)
afterwards the installation of vanilla-gnome-desktop went without any problem
