Ubuntu stops shipping Flatpak by default

I found a better example. Only solution aptitude ever gives is not to install paprefs. Please solve that.

    $ sudo aptitude install paprefs
    Keep the following packages at their current version:
    ...
    11)     paprefs [Not Installed]                            
    ...
    Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?]

Don't know your install, but Debian by default uses Pipewire, not Pulseaudio. If you are using Pipewire, indeed you can't install a Pulseaudio application. That's expected.

You can replace pipewire with pulseaudio. It's doable, just not trivial enough for an HN comment. In general, you'd have to force removal of pipewire without removing all dependent packages, install pulseaudio and then have apt check that all dependencies are ok. Then, having Pulseaudio in the system, you can install paprefs, a Pulseaudio application.

As I said, it's a solid system, rather impossible to break into an unrecoverable state.
