It would be great to understand how pipewire pkgs have been pulled on your system since I don't know which packages are installed by awesome. But that could be non trivial as the dependency responsible for this may no longer exist. > In the mean time I removed pipewire as a workaround, but looking through > dpkg.log told me how to reproduce it.

This breaks sound and users have to create an empty file to make the sound working. This empty file has been deleted because of some conflicts with pulseaudio in the past https://bugs.debian.org/1006364. But, I will create a new package for them and make pipewire-pulse recommend wireplumber or this new package. > I don't "want" to use pipewire, it was (partially) installed on my > system and broke all audio ;-) If you don't want to use pipewire, you can remove pipewire-pulse and wireplumber/pipewire-media-session. If you want to use pipewire only for screen-sharing (but I doubt based on your previous message), you can keep pipewire-media-session but be sure to not have the file: /usr/share/pipewire/media-session.d/with-pulseaudio Best regards, Dylan
