Hi folks,
while attempting a recent dist-upgrade an error occurred with pulse audio packages.
I was prompted to run 'apt-get -f install' to fix the problem, but this was not sucessful.
Output is below,
apt-get -f install

Have you tried killing pulse before upgrading it
killall pulseaudio
or
killall -9 pulseaudio
Last time i seen anything pulse updated was on the 23rd of this month, and that was gstreamer1.0-pulseaudio:amd64 (looking thru logs)
What I have here is
piper@x1:~$ apt policy libpulsedsp
libpulsedsp:
Installed: 7.1-2

If you try removing libpulsedsp first, does that help?

Thanks for the suggestion Piper, unfortunately it didn't work mate, same error as before.
Here's my currently installed 'pa' packages...
apt-cache policy pulseaudio

Odd seems I have a version from experimental installed.
Bugger, now I remember I was pulling down packages for my new keyboard from "orson.at", and it's pulled down his pulse packages.
I wasn't paying attention.
Perhaps force a 'downgrade' somehow.
Also here's something that might help,
dpkg -l pulseaudio*

@seasons,
tried your suggestion before posting without success.
Cheers to you both.

Try removing purging it, # out the experimental repo and reinstall
I believe
As user
killall pulseaudio
As root
killall pulseaudio
apt remove --purge pulseaudio pulseaudio-module-x11 paman paprefs pavucontrol
should be enough
You probably also want to remove pulseaudio-utils and gstreamer0.10-pulseaudio.
Delete the pulseaudio cookie
$ rm ~/.pulse-cookie
Nowadays you can't entirely remove pulseaudio because many media packages depend on libpulse0 and simply won't install or work without it
Reboot and reinstall
You might want to do a simulation first
apt remove --purge pulseaudio pulseaudio-module-x11 paman paprefs pavucontrol pulseaudio-utils gstreamer0.10-pulseaudio -s

Delete the pulseaudio cookie
$ rm ~/.pulse-cookie
That was the old location for it. Pulseaudio moved its config files to ~/.config to be XDG compliant.
So it's now ~/.config/pulse/cookie
-
My latest build, built by me is siduction-15.1.0-thunderstruck-kde-amd64-201601211214.iso a week old, and i still have the cookie in the location I said, I have also tested this.

Pulse has it's own folder with a cookie in it also
