I was trying to get sound working again. It last worked many wks ago, but I hardly ever use it. So I don't know when it became broken (again). Current problem is that aptitude feels that it needs to install a libuuid-perl in order to install linux-base (which somehow became uninstalled, or needs to be upgraded, I can't tell which) but libuuid-perl needs a different kernel than I am currently running and aptitude advises not replacing the running kernel. And doesn't suggest any alternative. I think I am running kernel 3.16.0-4-686-pae That is the number string on both initrd.img and vmlinuz.
How can I break this deadlock? Until very recently, I have been following all the upgrades to Jessie on a daily basis, may not have in the last few days. The system rebooted in its current condition, with the deaklock still there. (How can a linux system boot without a working version of linux-base?)
