      Thank you so much Ji M, it works correctly using Ubuntu 14.04.1LTS amd64. Audacious is my favorite audio player because it’s simple to use, faster and stable.

      Hi,
      It seems that there’s an unsolved dependency (gtk2–pixbuf) on Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS which prevents from installing Audacious successfully.


      The following packages have unmet dependencies:
      gtk2-engines-pixbuf : Depends: libgtk2.0-0 (= 2.24.23-0ubuntu1) but 2.24.23-0ubuntu1.1 is to be installed
      E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

      I have tried googling if anyone had succesfully installed Audacious on Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS (i.e. not the first release 14.04 ) to no avail.

      The only similar result I’ve found was this link:
      http://askubuntu.com/questions/573242/ubuntu-14-04-cant-install-audacious
      but no solution so far.

      Maybe you might know how to solve this issue.
      Perhaps I will have to add you repo and try your version of the package.
