Subject: alsa-base: secret dependency of sorts on udev Package: alsa-base Version: 1.0.8-7 Severity: normal
I use alsa and linux 2.6.10 for the sound on my computer. I recently deinstalled GNOME, which (among many others) resulted in the automatic removal of udev. The (only?) symptom was that sound failed to work with a "file or directory not found".
I don't mind that ALSA needs udev to work; but it would be nice to have some sort of dependency declared so that the auto-removal of unused packages wouldn't break this package. I realize that this is complicated by the fact that udev may not be needed if a 2.6 kernel is not used; perhaps some prominent warnings would be a reasonable solution, or a "Recommends" or "Suggests" line.
Thanks, Andrew
