[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#347204: alsa-utils: alsa-base should be Depends: not Recommends:

[William Mitchell Jr]

Package: alsa-utils
Version: 1.0.10-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

The alsa utilities in this package do not work without /dev/snd
which alsa-base provides.

Therefore, alsa-base should be Depends not Recommends.
