[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#290876: alsa-base cannot be installed after an apt-get update. Requires alsa-utils > 1.0.7-2 but 1.0.7-2 is the latest version available

[Vangelis Koukis]

Package: alsa-base
Version: 1.0.7-2
Severity: grave


After an apt-get update, alsa-base is kept back. Trying to install it
manually yields the following error:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  alsa-base: Depends: alsa-utils (> 1.0.7-2) but 1.0.7-2 is to be
  installed

It seems that the dependency information for the package is wrong, and
the dependency on alsa-utils should be ">= 1.0.7-2".
