The 1:12.2-5~bionic1 version of libpulse0 is not from official repositories. You probably installed it from somewhere else.

I suggest downgrading the version using Synaptic.

Select the package and then use "Package" menu to set the correct 1:12.2-0ubuntu4 version.

  • I have forced libpulse0 to use 1:12.2-5~bionic1 in Synaptic package manager but it does not show in terminal when trying to install pulseaudio - i get the same error as if not taking effect. – newcat1000 Feb 16 '19 at 17:22
  • Change it to use 1:12.2-0ubuntu4 version instead. – Pilot6 Feb 16 '19 at 17:24
