I have pushed a fix for this to Ubuntu 22.10 as discussed in https://launchpad.net/bugs/1977564 It uses a postrm script provided by Dyaln to purge the systemd user services. (Done in both wireplumber & pipewire-media-session).
After he posted the patch, Michael proposed a more complex maintainer script. Michael, do you think that version is still needed? Also, I tried installing wireplumber on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS without the fix. Although the install gives a warning and the symlinks are broken, sound still works even with pulseaudio uninstalled. Could someone help me understand the impact of this bug? I think I want to fix it for Ubuntu 22.04 LTS but understanding the impact would help for that. I thought it was interesting that apt removing other systemd services also results in broken symlinks unless `apt purge` is used. For instance, uninstall wpasupplicant and there is a broken symlink /etc/systemd/system/dbus-fi.w1.wpa_supplicant1.service Things seem to work ok like this, but is this the behavior we want? Thank you, Jeremy Bicha
