Should be fixed in 13.10, because with alsa-lib 1.0.27 this file is now in a separate all-architecture package instead (libasound2-data).

Now when ever i try to remove Wine or install other software it says "Item cannot be installed or removed until the package catalogue is repaired. Do you want to repair it now?" Even when i do click repair nothing works. The only way i can fix it is to remove it via Synaptic Package Manager. libsound does seem to be the problem and i think i know why. I have an M-Audio 24/96 soundcard and followed a guide i found on a forum that suggested altering the file and using alsa mixer to make it work... it did work but i have not been able to install Wine since. Any idea how to install wine? i really do need it! thanks ProblemType: Package DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: libasound2 1.0.25-1ubuntu10 [modified: usr/share/alsa/cards/ICE1712.conf] ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-24.38-generic 3.2.16 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-24-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia ApportVersion: 2.0.1-0ubuntu7 Architecture: amd64 Date: Mon May 21 18:43:02 2012 DpkgTerminalLog: Unpacking libasound2:i386 (from .../libasound2_1.0.25-1ubuntu10_i386.deb) ... dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libasound2_1.0.25-1ubuntu10_i386.deb (--unpack): './usr/share/alsa/cards/ICE1712.conf' is different from the same file on the system DuplicateSignature: Unpacking libasound2:i386 (from .../libasound2_1.0.25-1ubuntu10_i386.deb) ... dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libasound2_1.0.25-1ubuntu10_i386.deb (--unpack): './usr/share/alsa/cards/ICE1712.conf' is different from the same file on the system ErrorMessage: './usr/share/alsa/cards/ICE1712.conf' is different from the same file on the system InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Release amd64 (20120425) SourcePackage: alsa-lib Title: package libasound2 1.0.25-1ubuntu10 [modified: usr/share/alsa/cards/ICE1712.conf] failed to install/upgrade: './usr/share/alsa/cards/ICE1712.conf' is different from the same file on the system UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-lib/+bug/1002403/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
