I have messed up my ALSA installation, and now I cannot remove the package.
Some time ago I was compiling my kernels myself, and i think that I tried to install alsa without much luck, so there may be some old config files floating around in my system. What can I do to solve my problems? What should I read to understand them better? Thanks in advance Niels nissefisken# apt-get remove alsa-modules-2.4.22-1-386 Reading Package Lists...
