Package: liboss4-salsa-asound2 Version: 4.2-build2007-2 Severity: important
hi, I have all the 'alsa' stuff installed; I tried to replace it with OSS4, but the install of liboss4-salsa-asound2 utterly failed. I see that liboss4-salsa-asound2 provides libasound2 but it seems that this is not enough. IMHO the problem is that 'Provides' do not satisfy a versioned 'Depends': «If a relationship field has a version number attached, only real packages will be considered to see whether the relationship is satisfied» http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html So your 'Provides' is not working as you expect. You should use a different approach, divert the ALSA library and substitute with your link; and remove the 'Conflicts' line. ---- Here are my failed attempts at installing it # apt-get -t sid --ignore-hold install liboss4-salsa-asound2 Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: liboss4-salsa-asound2 : Conflicts: libasound2 E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. I then tried this. # dpkg --force-all -r libasound2:amd64 libasound2:i386 and then again # apt-get -t unstable --ignore-hold install liboss4-salsa-asound2 liboss4-salsa-asound2:i386 and the result is as in attachment. a. -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (300, 'testing'), (200, 'unstable'), (100, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=it_IT.utf8, LC_CTYPE=it_IT.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- Andrea Mennucc "E' un mondo difficile.
