Package: alsa-base
Version: 1.0.10-1
Severity: normal

It happened while installing new version of alsa-base:

Preparing to replace alsa-base 1.0.9b-4 (using
..../alsa-base_1.0.10-1_all.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement alsa-base ...

Setting up alsa-base (1.0.10-1) ...
Installing new version of config file /etc/init.d/alsa ...

Setting up alsa-base (1.0.10-1) ...
Installing new version of config file /etc/init.d/alsa ...

Configuration file `/etc/modutils/alsa-base'
 ==> Modified (by you or by a script) since installation.
 ==> Package distributor has shipped an updated version.
   What would you like to do about it ?  Your options are:
    Y or I  : install the package maintainer's version
    N or O  : keep your currently-installed version
      D     : show the differences between the versions
      Z     : background this process to examine the situation
 The default action is to keep your current version.
*** alsa-base (Y/I/N/O/D/Z) [default=N] ? d

I gave d key to see the differences. They were visible for me.

*** alsa-base (Y/I/N/O/D/Z) [default=N] ?

Then I pressed enter key (by mistake, I wanted to install a new version).
But pressing enter (default = N) caused following message to be seen:

Installing new version of config file /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base ...

Well, I thought to myself that I will try to compare and edit the  previous
config file manually.
But ... I couldn't find old file!
Only new one was present:

[~]$ ls -la /etc/modutils/alsa-base*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8715 Nov 21 22:55
/etc/modutils/alsa-base.dpkg-dist

So I mv'ed it manually:

[~]$ mv /etc/modutils/alsa-base.dpkg-dist /etc/modutils/alsa-base

But:
- did I have this config file previously?
- what happened to it?
- why after selecting 'N' a new config was tried to be installed?
- why after installation I had no proper configuration file?

To get things back into a known condition you could purge and re-install
alsa-base.
