Package: alsa-base
Version: 1.0.5a-1
Severity: important
/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base contains the line
install snd-pcm: /sbin/modprobe snd-pcm && /sbin/modprobe snd-pcm-oss
which causes modprobe to say "oh, in order to install snd-pcm i need
to first run sh which will call myself with the exact same arguments",
causing an infinite loop.
Removing that file seems to let modprobe do the right thing.
Thank you!

Hi,
I may have had /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base contain that in a
version before 1.0.5a-1, but certainly not for that version. The file
I have here says:
install snd-pcm: /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-pcm &&
/sbin/modprobe snd-pcm-oss
Cheers,
--
Steve
