    16.04 Dependancy issue libtag & gstreamer plugins

    16.04 has some dependency issue, it appears to end up claiming it needs a version of gstreamer1.0-plugins-good above 0.11.0 and even though 1.8.3 is installed it doesn't seem to want to accept it.

    The issue is with installing Mixxx from their ppa, to get the latest version rather than the years old version in the main repos. Once adding their ppa and updating I get this:

    Code:
    osboxes@osboxes:~$ sudo apt-get install mixxx

    (Yes this is done on a VM for testing, I'm currently running 18.04 on my main system but seen multiple people report this lately.)

    This should probably have gone in General (maybe even Multimedia) but I guess almost as many people will see it and hopefully somebody will have an idea....

    Just realised that libtab1-vanila is coming from the Mixxx ppa, not Ubuntu's, so definitely their issue. Unless checking dependencies for newer versions is something intergral to Ubuntu itself?? What should tell it that libtab1v5-vanilla has replaced and is newer than libtag1-vanilla??
