Package: alsa-base
Version: 1.0.8-3
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable


alsa-base has been giving me the following error message since at least 1.0.7-2:

Setting up alsa-base (1.0.8-3) ...
dpkg: error processing alsa-base (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 alsa-base
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Ack!  Something bad happened while installing packages.  Trying to recover:
Setting up alsa-base (1.0.8-3) ...
dpkg: error processing alsa-base (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 alsa-base

Since I already had a working ALSA setup, my sound still works. I imagine this would make the package unusable for me otherwise. Since I'm not sure if this has anything to do with any experimental packages I have installed, I won't tag this as sarge even though the version currently in sarge gave me the same problem.

         "command -v" which, it turns out, isn't as well suited to this
         purpose as I earlier thought. (See #218530.)  Instead just try
         to execute the command (with --help) and check the error
