Package: alsa-source
Severity: important

Recent stock kernels in Debian provide alsa modules in
/lib/modules/$KVERS/kernel/sound/ that conflict with the ones installed
by packages created by alsa-source, that are in
/lib/modules/$KVERS/alsa/.

As a result, modprobe sometimes loads ALSA modules from one directory,
and sometimes from another; this results in `unresolved symbol' errors,
similar to those seen in
<http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=199705>.

I worked around the problem on my machine by moving all the directories
in /lib/modules/$KVERS/kernel/sound/ out of the way (soundcore.ko must
remain) and running depmod -a. It would be nice if packages generated
from alsa-source could automatically ensure that modprobe favours
/lib/modules/$KVERS/alsa/ over /lib/modules/$KVERS/kernel/sound/
somehow.

Could the ALSA modules in /lib/modules/$KVERS/kernel/sound/ be moved
away automatically with dpkg-divert?

Changes: 
 alsa-driver (1.0.6a-4) unstable; urgency=medium
 .
   * Thomas Hood:
     - Remove more XSIisms
     - debian/rules:
       + Fix ownership and perms of installed files  (Closes: #275386)
       + Install alsa-base.discover as /etc/discover.d/alsa-base
         instead of as /usr/share/doc/alsa-base/alsa-base.discover.
         This stops discover1 from loading OSS modules at boot time
         so that ALSA modules can be loaded instead.  This only works
         with discover1 >= 1.7.2.  If you have an earlier version of
         discover1 or if you have discover (version 2) then this
         blacklist file has no effect.
         (Closes: #220616, #265845, #275794, #276272)
     - debian/control:
       + Tweak description
       + Suggest discover1 (>= 1.7.2) which is the first release that
         has the blacklisting feature
     - alsa-base.config:
       + Tweak
     - alsa-base.README.Debian:
       + Update
     - alsa-source.control
       + Tweak description
       + alsa-modules-x.y.z should depend on module-init-tools >= 3.1 so
         that /lib/modules/x.y.z/updates gets magic priority
     - alsa-source.rules
       + Put modules in /lib/modules/x.y.z/updates/alsa/ rather than in
         /lib/modules/x.y.z/alsa/ so that module-init-tools's depmod
         gives them priority over the ones from the kernel.
         (Closes: #261618)
     - alsa-modules.postrm
       + Do depmod -a  (Closes: #276985)
       + Don't run the initscript stop method
   * Jordi Mallach:
     - debian/control:
       + Make alsa-headers a dummy package for transitional purposes, as
         it's apparently not needed any more.  Packages should use
         libasound2-dev instead.
     - debian/alsa-headers.{dirs,headers}:
       + Remove
     - debian/rules:
       + Remove alsa-headers-related bits
