pulseaudio (17.0-1) breaks dependency 'pulseaudio<=16.1' required by qubes-vm-pulseaudio

[jobforacowboy]

Qubes OS release

4.2

Can we add new headers for pulseaudio 17.0-1 to qubes-gui-agent-linux?

Can we get a tagged release of qubes-gui-agent-linux?

[marmarek]

Yes, but that won't help with Arch updates yet. The builder for our Arch packages is out of order, it should be (hopefully) fixed next week.

I believe this issue is already solved and could be closed.

pulseaudio 17.0-3 and qubes-vm-pulseaudio 4.2.10-1 could be installed on archlinux template on Qubes 4.2 without any conflicts.

[na--]

I am not sure that is the case:

[root@vm ~]# pacman -Syu

Server = https://archlinux.qubes-os.org/r4.2/current/vm/archlinux/pkgs

Also, https://archlinux.qubes-os.org/r4.2/current/vm/archlinux/pkgs/ doesn't really contain any recent qubes-vm-pulseaudio packages, the most recent is:

qubes-vm-pulseaudio-4.2.10-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst    30-Oct-2023 05:01               15569

@alimirjamali Are you using the current-testing repository ?
@na-- : From my point of view, the issue fixed in current-testing, not in current. I tested by switching to current-testing.

[alimirjamali]

@lubellier You are right. I am using the testing repos for my main arch template. I checked again on the current and it is not yet fixed. And the actual working version of qubes-vm-pulseaudio is 4.2.13-1

[alimirjamali]

From my point of view, the issue fixed in current-testing, not in current. I tested by switching to current-testing.

Isn't this merged to current stream already? Couldn't the issue be closed?
