Public bug reported: This issue has come up from trying to install Mixxx from their official LaunchPad host ppa and it appears to reference libtag1-vanilla, which does appear to exist in 16.04 but I believe should be superseded by libtag1v5-vanilla, yet it doesn't seem to recognise as such. As it then can't be manually installed or the other removed I think there is a deeper issue with this package than just Mixxx having the wrong one down as a dependency.
This has been reported to the Mixxx developers on their forum about a week ago but no official response as yet... I've run this in a virtual box but there are multiple users who have reported this on their main systems (at least four I've seen.) osboxes@osboxes:~$ sudo apt-get update [sudo] password for osboxes: Hit:1 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-security InRelease Hit:2 http://ppa.launchpad.net/mixxx/mixxx/ubuntu xenial InRelease Hit:3 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial InRelease Hit:4 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-updates InRelease Hit:5 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-backports InRelease Reading package lists...
