Purging Alsa -> invoke-rc.d: initscript alsa, action "stop" failed.
I have messed up my ALSA installation, and now I cannot remove the package.
Some time ago I was compiling my kernels myself, and i think that I
tried to install alsa without much luck, so there may be some old
config files floating around in my system.
What can I do to solve my problems?
What should I read to understand them better?
Thanks in advance
Niels
