Description Tom Seewald 2020-11-23 21:37:16 UTC

Description of problem:
On Fedora Rawhide (Workstation) attempting to install pipewire-pulseaudio results in dnf trying to remove essential packages (in this case gnome-shell).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
pipewire-pulseaudio-0.3.16-3.fc34.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. sudo dnf install pipewire-pulseaudio

Actual results:
Running sudo dnf install pipewire-pulseaudio I get:

Error: 
 Problem: problem with installed package pulseaudio-13.99.3-1.fc34.x86_64
  - package pipewire-pulseaudio-0.3.16-3.fc34.x86_64 conflicts with pulseaudio provided by pulseaudio-13.99.3-1.fc34.x86_64
  - conflicting requests
(try to add '--allowerasing' to command line to replace conflicting packages or '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages)

If I add "--allowerasing" I get:

Error: 
 Problem: The operation would result in removing the following protected packages: gnome-shell
(try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages)

If I run sudo dnf swap pulseaudio pipewire-pulseaudio I get:

Error: 
 Problem 1: problem with installed package pulseaudio-module-x11-13.99.3-1.fc34.x86_64
  - package pulseaudio-module-x11-13.99.3-1.fc34.x86_64 requires libprotocol-native.so()(64bit), but none of the providers can be installed
  - package pulseaudio-module-x11-13.99.3-1.fc34.x86_64 requires libpulsecore-13.99.so()(64bit), but none of the providers can be installed
  - package pulseaudio-module-x11-13.99.3-1.fc34.x86_64 requires pulseaudio(x86-64) = 13.99.3-1.fc34, but none of the providers can be installed
  - conflicting requests
 Problem 2: problem with installed package pulseaudio-module-bluetooth-13.99.3-1.fc34.x86_64
  - package pulseaudio-module-bluetooth-13.99.3-1.fc34.x86_64 requires libpulsecore-13.99.so()(64bit), but none of the providers can be installed
  - package pulseaudio-module-bluetooth-13.99.3-1.fc34.x86_64 requires pulseaudio(x86-64) = 13.99.3-1.fc34, but none of the providers can be installed
  - package pipewire-pulseaudio-0.3.16-3.fc34.x86_64 conflicts with pulseaudio provided by pulseaudio-13.99.3-1.fc34.x86_64
  - conflicting requests
(try to add '--allowerasing' to command line to replace conflicting packages or '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages)


Expected results:
The package can be installed without removing gnome-shell or other core packages.

Additional info:
This seems to occur on F33 as well as rawhide.

This is a known issue. Dependencies need to be fixed of those packages before this will work.

Comment 2 Tobias Florek 2020-12-08 10:16:00 UTC

This does work now with packages from updates-testing, doesn't it?

> dnf swap pulseaudio pipewire-pulseaudio --allowerasing  --skip-broken --enablerepo updates-testing

did work for my Fedora Workstation installation.

Comment 3 Tom Seewald 2020-12-17 18:37:12 UTC

This has been fixed, it works at least since 0.3.18 and probably 0.3.17.
