Bug 20145

FYI - this was an installation from Mageia6-sta2-x86_64-dvd (approximation on name).   All patches were applied up to this typing.

I installed xfce desktop using Mageia-6-sta1-x86_64-DVD.iso into a vm. Applied all updates and installed Audacious. 

rpm -qa | grep audac
audacious-plugins-3.8.1-1.mga6.tainted
audacious-3.8.1-1.mga6
audacious-pulse-3.8.1-1.mga6.tainted

Works as expected. Did you use tainted or non-free sources?

The output you pasted in Comment 0 says:
"Did you forget to install audacious-plugins?"

So it sounds pretty clear what the problem is.

The audacious package recommends audacious-plugins, so it should be installed, but is possible that it is not.  I suppose one way that this could happen is that the audacious package is on the ISO you installed from and the audacious-plugins package is not.  If that's the case, please CC Anne for the Classical ISO or Martin for the Live ISO, whichever you used.

Götz, is there any reason we shouldn't change the Recommends to a Requires?

This came pre-packaged in the Mageia-6-sta2-x86_64-DVD.iso and was on the menu from the initial installation.

Looks like a package was missed.

Brian

fyi - I installed the package and Audacious worked fine after that.

Anne, please add audacious-plugins to the list of packages that should be included on the Classical ISO.

Given that error, it's a packaging bug and the audacious package should require audacious-plugins (or at least the required plugins if some are optional). Obviously the audacious package by itself does not work, so a Recommends is not enough.

Then the ISO building will pick the dependency automatically, so need to modify ISO building scripts for that.

Maybe this was simply changed by accident:
http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/cauldron/audacious/current/SPECS/audacious.spec?r1=1004909&r2=1071449

Indeed, this should be reverted and maybe an explanatory comment added that those plugins are actually mandatory :)

yes, that's my mistake, forgot to debootstrap the thing :-/

Shouldn't we require audacious-pulse instead of audacious-plugins[*] as we use Pulseaudio by default.

[*] audacious-plugins provides the following output plugins: alsa, filewriter, oss4 ans sdlout.

Actually I tried with audacious-pulse with no luck.

$ audacious
ERROR plugin-init.cc:147 [start_required]: No interface plugin found.
(Did you forget to install audacious-plugins?)

So I guess we need to require audacious-plugins as error msg just changed from output plugin to interface plugin with audacious-pulse.

Some people don't use pulseaudio, so it is fine with audacious-plugins only as required. And provides a few other plugins as well.

Someone fix it already, I think David did it in version 3.8.1 right?

also valid for LXDE only install

adding audacious-plugins corrects issue

Note sure why Götz did not submit the fix he committed, but I just did.

Should be fixed in audacious-3.8.1-2.mga6
