[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#641529: /usr/sbin/alsactl: alsactl offers command "name", but it is deprecated and does not exist anymore

[Heiko Schlittermann]

Package: alsa-utils
Version: 1.0.23-3
Severity: normal
File: /usr/sbin/alsactl
Tags: upstream


"alsactl -h" offers the available commands. It offers the 
command "name", as DEPRECATED. But this command is not only deprecated, 
it does not exist anymore. To probably it should not be offered at
all.
