depend on 'pd' unless they really need a specific version (vanilla, extended,
DD, etc.).I was referring to Tim's offlist mail that you quoted, and I got the
name wrong: It's called "ubuntustudio-audio". Tim's error was:ubuntustudio-audio depends on puredata
so he couldn't install pd-extended, which "only" provides "pd". I
assume that "ubuntustudio-audio" is a meta-package which in itself is empty, but
it depends on a lot of useful audio packages, so they can be install in one
command. If "upbuntustudio-audio" would depend on pd, not on puredata, than pd- extended and puredata both could provide "pd" and make ubuntustudio-audio as
happy as a dog with two tails. :)
Couldn't have said it better myself. As a workaround, you can install
ubuntustudio-audio, then it'll install everything. Then you can "apt-
get remove ubuntustudio-audio puredata", then apt-get install pd-
extended" or however.
