Additional context
Yes, another pulseaudio update that requires to update pulseaudio headers in gui-agent-linux! This time with pulseaudio 14.1 and 14.2 versions.

Solutions you've tried

• added pulseaudio headers to gui-agent-linux
• built qubes-vm-pulseaudio archlinux package
• updated my archLinux repo

then my archLinux template got updated to pulseaudio-14.2

Relevant documentation you've consulted
N/A

Related, non-duplicate issues
same as #6234 but this time for pulseaudio 14.1 and 14.2

I've just seen that @marmarek did the job on qubes-gui-agent-linux/master, commits:

• Add pulseaudio-14.1 headers
• Add pulseaudio 14.2 headers

So just need to backport the Add pulseaudio 14.2 headers to qubes-gui-agent-linux/release4.0 (already done for Add pulseaudio-14.1 headers)

[ejose19]

For any other time r4.0 doesn't get the headers update as quickly as master, one can run git cherry-pick -n $master_commit_hash using the commit that added the headers for master (given the changes are just bumping versions and adding the headers)

So for current issue one could do: cd qubes-gui-agent-linux && git tag -v $(git describe) && git checkout release4.0 && git cherry-pick -n 291f697eb1a92f83954d75ee9d180906bda4ceed, run the build commands and cleanup after with git reset --hard HEAD

agreed. from 4.1

:: unable to satisfy dependency 'qubes-vm-qrexec' required by qubes-vm-dependencies
:: unable to satisfy dependency 'pulseaudio<14.1' required by qubes-vm-pulseaudio
:: unable to satisfy dependency 'qubes-vm-pulseaudio' required by qubes-vm-dependencies

Marmarek added the 14.2 headers and bumped the 4.0.35 version.

gui-agent-linux v4.0.35 (r4.0) is now available in current-testing repository
QubesOS/updates-status#2331

So in few days will be available in stable repository.

The gui-agent-linux 4.0.35 version switched to stable 4 days ago.
I built the ArchLinux packages and installed them on my ArchLinux Qubes, all works fine.

@andrewdavidwong : for me this issue is now closable.
