Closed issue by TrueTechie on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/38542 Description: ### Is this a new report? Yes ### System Info Void 5.18.16_1 x86_64 GenuineIntel uptodate FFFFFFF ### Package(s) Affected mate-1.26.0_1 mate-settings-daemon-1.26.0_1 ### Does a report exist for this bug with the project's home (upstream) and/or another distro? _No response_ ### Expected behaviour You can install and use the Mate desktop without installing/using `pulseaudio` (say, using `pipewire-pulse`) as you can on Arch and Fedora. ### Actual behaviour Installing the package requires `alsa-plugins-pulseaudio`, unlike Arch which has this as an optional dependency. ### Steps to reproduce 1. Install `mate`, more specifically `mate-settings-daemon` 2. See that transaction includes the `pulseaudio` package
