Bug Description
Hello, this is a separate issue, I couldn't find a "Post New Question" button.
It's related to the package pulseaudio-
I went through the steps of manually installing this package and the dependencies using dpkg -i , because python-gnome2 is not available anymore.
Now, I face a separate problem: whenever I try to install any package using Apt-Get, Apt tells me that I need to install latest version of pulseaudio-
Would you consider renaming the pulseaudio-
I think that would be enough for Apt not to get confused anymore.
Meanwhile, do you recommend me any workarounds to get my Apt-Get working back again?
This is the text of the error message (cause: two packages from different repos having the same exact name)
sudo apt-get install -f

Abort.
Installing that package above would leave me with the "wrong" worse version, I don't want that one.

Workaround for "Duplicate package names" and "Unmet Dependencies" found here:

My bash history of it step-by-step: (change package names as needed)
# workaround to circumvent Unmet Dependencies problem in Apt-Get
# Dummy Package procedure to restore Apt-Get working state...
# first, remove the problematic package
sudo dpkg --purge --force-all pulseaudio-
sudo apt-get install -f
# output should be OK once again, no more errors...
# Apt-Get itself is fixed. Now, let's work on the specific package...
sudo apt-get install aptitude
sudo apt-get install equivs
equivs-control python-gnome2

sudo apt-get install -f
