Okay, so how do I solve this?
I have don't have alsa installed, but I guess I must have had them
installed at some point... as /etc/modutils/alsa exists, but it is a
sym link to /etc/alsa/modutils/0.9 which doesn't exist.
So, I tried installing alsa-base and alsa-utils. But, these fails cause
they depend on modutils and dpkg exits with an error when trying to
configure them. So, modutils seems to need alsa but alsa need modutils.
Bit of a circle problem, how do I get round this?!
