I have "reopened" this bug as: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1718897 , as it still fails for me (a month later).

But may be an issue with something else. I did notice quickly running 'ldd' in /usr/bin that it seems other files are linking against the above so directly. --- ApportVersion: 2.20.5-0ubuntu5 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC1: lathiat 4190 F.... pulseaudio /dev/snd/controlC3: lathiat 4190 F.... pulseaudio /dev/snd/controlC0: lathiat 4190 F.... pulseaudio /dev/snd/controlC2: lathiat 4190 F.... pulseaudio CurrentDesktop: GNOME DistroRelease: Ubuntu 17.10 EcryptfsInUse: Yes MachineType: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd.
