Unfortunately, timidity does depend on freepats. In my opinion, this should be changed by the package maintainers to suggest the fluid soundfonts instead or possibly suggest either fluid or freepats, since freepats is quite incomplete and is in fact not required for timidity to run, whereas fluid-soundfont-* is quite complete and its full complement of instruments is released under a free and quite liberal license, specifically the MIT license. For now, the best work-around is to either install the freepats package along with timidity for now or simply use equivs to create a dummy freepats package. Either way, a bug should be filed against the timidity package to remove the dependency on freepats and make it and/or the fluid soundfonts a recommendation or suggestion with a preference for fluid. I can file this bug report, since I have a launchpad account and I do consider this a bug in the timidity package since the fluid soundfonts have been introduced. If anyone would like me to do so, I will post the bug number to the list so that anyone who wishes can subscribe to the bug. HTH, Lorenzo -- Make a change. Make a difference.
