Dependency issues after attempting upgrade with PipeWire PPA #301
Comments
https://packages.ubuntu.com/impish/pipewire shows that 21.10 should have had Pipewire It looks like that version number is used in this PPA: https://launchpad.net/~pipewire-debian/+archive/ubuntu/pipewire-upstream Were you using upstream Pipewire from that PPA or another? |
I am able to recreate this on a fresh 21.10 install by adding the above PPA, installing all updates (requires

Not sure, but entirely possible. I vaguely remember doing something funny with pipewire installation to get ffmpeg working to begin with. Let me know if this helps or what I could run to get any other information you need

I'm testing a quick potential solution myself, otherwise this may need further engineering work to fix.

Upgrade to 22.04 failed with message (FYI: this text can't currently be copy/pasted, had to screenshot it):
hoped to deal with this later, but apparently the failed upgrade process removed ffmpeg (which I need for work) and now I can't reinstall it. All attempts to repair the upgrade, install ffmpeg, or remove broken packages with apt result in some variant of "unmet dependencies" messages implicating gstreamer/pipewire as the core of the problem.
