I am running Debian 3.0r2 with a 2.6.5. kernel, and I complied alsa support into the kernel. I am using an Aureal Vortex 8810 sound card. I used dselect to install alsa-utils and alsa-base, but I am unable to get alba-base to install - dselect installation fails with this error message:
Setting up alsa-base (1.0.4-2) ... Note: Moving to /etc/default/alsa mv: missing file argument Try `mv --help' for more information. dpkg: error processing alsa-base (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: alsa-base E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) Some errors occurred while unpacking. I'm going to configure the packages that were installed. This may result in duplicate errors or errors caused by missing dependencies. This is OK, only the errors above this message are important. Please fix them and run [I]nstall again Press enter to continue. I have done my research on this but can't find a solution that works for my system. I also am a bit confused about what alsa components I should install - some of the messages I have read imply that when alsa is bult into the 2.6.5. kernel, that there is no need to install alsa-base, -utilities, etc. So I'm hoping one of you Linux uber-geeks can point me in the right direction. <g> Thanks.
