Bug#703983: audacity package for wheezy has dep bug on libwxgtk version 2.2?

[Terry Hancock]

Package: audacity
Version: 2.0.1-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

Audacity throws this error when I try to start it:

audacity: error while loading shared libraries: libwx_gtk-2.2.so.6: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory

(and exits).

Clearly this makes audacity useless, though it doesn't affect anything else
that I can tell.

This looks like a simple package-dependency bug. I do not know if it affects
the unstable 2.0.2 version. I tried upgrading libwxgtk and audacity, but both
are already up-to-date (in wheezy/testing).

Searching the archive for the missing file doesn't turn anything up -- possibly
support for the 2.2 api has been removed from libwxgtk 2.8, even though
audacity depends on it?

AFAIK, I did not upgrade audacity, so I suspect this must have been due to
inadvertently upgrading libwxgtk (to 2.8). The most recent installations I

Apparently caused by unrelated upgrades. I suspect some other package required
the new libwxgtk 2.8 and that broke audacity, which I did not upgrade (apt-get
tells me that audacity is already the newest version -- in wheezy/testing of
course).

Thanks!
Terry
