alsaconf package?
Hi all-
Upraded from Woody to 2.6.8 on my Pismo and in getting all the ALSA
packages this morning, ran into the following:
I 'apt-get install alsa-base' and was recommended to install a few other
packages, notably 'alsa-conf-0.4'. I 'apt-get install alsaconf' as this
was what the Debian package list (at <http://packages.debian.org>)
showed as available, not 'alsa-conf-0.4'.
Here's what apt-get returned:
>vatic:/home/cturner# apt-get install alsaconf
>Reading Package Lists... Done

As part of my alsa-base install, I had just added both alsa-base and
alsa-utils at the testing revision level which has to be at least 1.0.8.
I then tried 'apt-get install alsaconf-0.4' and got this result"
>vatic:/home/cturner# apt-get install alsaconf-0.4
>Reading Package Lists... Done
>Building Dependency Tree... Done
>Package alsaconf-0.4 is not available, but is referred to by another
package.
>This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or

>E: Package alsaconf-0.4 has no installation candidate
Any ideas about what' going on here?
Many thanks,
