The problem is occurring because ubuntustudio-pulseaudio-config is
incompatible with the ubuntu-desktop metapackage as, for some reason,
ubuntu-desktop has pipewire-audio as a hard dependency which has
pipewire-alsa as a hard dependency. This means that the bug is really in
ubuntu-meta and not in ubuntustudio-installer due to a package conflict,
and a hard dependency in a metapackage that shouldn't exist.

It's unlikely this will be fixed in 23.04, but it might get fixed in
time for 23.10, but we'll see. I can make no guarantees as I only
oversee Ubuntu Studio. Unfortunately, Ubuntu Desktop users will have to
remain on PipeWire and not use the ubuntustudio-pulseaudio-config
package due to this discrepancy. This also means that Ubuntu Desktop
23.04 cannot and should not be used for professional audio.

Title:
  ubuntustudio-installer: error occurred while applying changes

Bug description:
  
  I have installed successfully the standard Ubuntu 23.04 (on a 500 GB external USB drive). Immediately after the installation, I have also installed with apt the "ubuntustudio-installer" package.

  In the dialog provided by the ubuntustudio-installer, I have selected
  the following metapackages:

  - linux-lowlatency
  - ubuntustudio-lowlatency-settings
  - ubuntustudio-performance-tweaks
  - ubuntustudio-audio
  - ubuntu-pulseaudio-config

  and pressed "Modify installed Package Selection"

  After a while a "qaptbatch" dialog has appeared with title

  "Commit Error"

  and message

  "An error occurred while applying changes"

  So the installation has failed. Then I have tried to manually install
  each metapackage in the list above with apt and every package was
  installed successfully.
