[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#708353: alsa-utils-udeb: Uninstallable: Depends: libasound2 but it is not installable

[Cyril Brulebois]

Package: alsa-utils-udeb
Version: 1.0.25-4
Severity: grave
Tags: d-i
Justification: renders package unusable

Hi,

trying to build d-i against unstable udebs, I'm getting alsa-utils-udeb
pulled by espeakup-udeb, and the former can't be installed, since it
depends on libasound2. There's a libasound2-udeb package available
though.

Actually, looking at it, it seems like alsa-lib “lost” the --add-udeb
call between wheezy (1.0.25-4) and sid (1.0.27-3).

Could be:
 1.0.25-1 = Adapt call to dh_makeshlibs […]
 1.0.26-1 = Rewrite debian/rules using dh.

(git svn is slow, and don't want to look at the snapshots manually.)

So I guess you want to fix that in alsa-lib and get alsa-utils rebuilt
once it's fixed. Feel free to track that as two different bugs if you
like, I'll let you play with the BTS as you see fit. Opening against the
unusable package for now.

Mraw,
KiBi.
