Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: pulseaudio
pulseaudio0.9.10-2ubuntu9 on intrepid ibex (8.10)
An "sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio" made my X session crash on startup, with an
error about /usr/bin/pulse-session not found.
It turned out the /etc/X11/Xsession.d still had a 70pulseaudio left in (after
the pulseaudio remove).
re-installing pulseaudio and then apt-get purge pulseaudio fixed the
situation (i.e. 70pulseaudio was indeed removed).
So it seems that this file is considered a configuration file in this
psckage, which of course it is not. As I experienced, leaving this file
in will prevent a normal Xsession start.
The pulseaudio package maintainer should move
/etc/X11/Xsession.d/70pulseaudio from the config file section to the
regular package file section (to be removed following an apt-get
remove). Unless I've missed something of course...
Other related question: Intrepid comes with pulseaudio installed by
default (I understand). Is there any serious consequences to remove
pulseaudio altogether? I had issues with (1) skype and (2) sound not
working after suspend/hibernate which have been solved by removing
pulseaudio. Just wondering if I may break something else by doing that.
