Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
I tried to install ardour from Debian experimental on Ubuntu. I know
this is unusual but worked in the past. Now there is a new dependency
on libgdk-pixbuf-2.0-0 which does not exist on Ubuntu. It is called
libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 there (note the missing hypen). I managed to
install ardour with --force-depends but now every time I am
upgrading apt complains about missing dependencies. I noticed that
the naming of binary packages in Debian is inconsistent, some include
hypens (libgdk-pixbuf-2.0-dev) and some don't (libgdk-pixbuf2.0-bin).
I suggest naming them consistently with or without an hyphen or,
since there is no version 1 in the repository, to just name it
libgdk-pixbuf-dev and libgdk-pixbuf-bin). This way Ubuntu wouldn't
need to rename packages and I could cross-install ardour as before.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
Install ardour from Debian experimental on Ubuntu.
* What was the outcome of this action?
Broken dependencies.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
Working upgrade with ardour installed.
