Unfortunately the situation is a lot worse as it seems.
I have a raspberry pi4 with PI OS (bookworm with all updates). There is an archive.raspberrypi.org repository enabled in sources.list.d/raspi.list. In this repository the last day it was included a new pipewire package version 1.2.4 (and also its 1.2.4 dependencies). And so the apt update pickup the new package. As you can notice from the name it is a backport package (bpo) but this repository is tagged as "main" not "backports".
It is not a bad thing, in effect I attend finally this 1.2.4 update since I really need some new changes done in this pipewire new update. But unfortunately it doesn't work at all.
And when I say it doesn't work I mean it totally brick the audio in my raspberry. I no longer have any sound either a pipewire node (it isn't important if pulseaudio or native pipewire because there isn't anymore any pipewire node so I can't have any type of audio). The OS was so badly messup from this pipewire update that I had to give up trying to remove,clean,reinstall and so on and I had to recover my system from a working backup as last resort.
I don't know what they are doing and why a backports packet is in a main repository but it needs a serious checkup. I found strange that yesterday no one noticed the problem...and I started to think that maybe I had some problem. Thanks to report the error so now I'm sure of what I suspected till the start, it is not a problem in my raspberry...
At the moment I have commented the repository to avoid the problem but since on PI OS we have only the old 0.3.65 pipewire when we can have a WORKING 1 2.x version of pipewire? And most important, I have a raspberry pi, I have latest PI OS (official OS), i have installed all updates, why I can't have a simple working system? why I have to figure out and/or trying to correct problems? why we are still on a 2 years old pipewire?
