Recently (I don't don't know when, might have been after an update) the sound indicator disappeared from my panel, and I haven't been getting any sound either. I tried installing the indicator-sound package, but all I got was this error message:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
indicator-sound: Depends: libido-0.1-0 (>= 0.1.1) but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages
Seems to be a bug, but how do I get around it? Could I install an older version of libido? If so, how do I do that?
Everything had worked fine until a couple days ago, so I'm sure that the package is the problem.
EDIT:The command $ dpkg --get-selections | grep libido returns the following output:
libido-0.1-0 deinstall
Ok, that's embarassing. Yesterday I uninstalled and reinstalled the libido package half a dozen times, and the indicator-sound package kept reporting the same error. Today, however, I just installed the libido package and now the indicator-sound package installed with no errors. Maybe the system needed a reboot or something.
(Should I answer my own question or just wait for a moderator to close it?)

Ok, I manage to solve it. I just installed the libido package and now the indicator-sound package installed with no errors. Maybe the system needed a reboot with the package uninstalled or something. If someone's having this problem, you can try:
Restart your computer (this is the part that seems to have solved it). And then reinstall both packages.
It's worth mentioning that, even after the reboot, the terminal kept reporting error messages when I tried to install indicator-sound. But after I reinstalled libido manually, the indicator-sound installed without issues.
