So it won't be installed, though. Hmm. You have 2 chances to get what you want: 1. Create /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf.d by hand. 2. Ask the crouton people to create /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf.d during the install if not available. The most reasonable way would be 2. Debian doesn't support crouton so I have to close this bug, Done hereby.

I know how to work around the problem, and I already have on one of my systems. I'm filing this bug report to keep from having to work around the problem on other machines, and for others as well then they eventually use buster with crouton. In order to install libasound2-plugins during the chroot build, I would have to patch crouton. While I could do that, the build doesn't need anything in libasound2-plugins besides the /u/s/a/alsa.conf.d directory. Why must libasound2-plugins be installed when the only thing required from it is directory creation? That goes against minimal installs "only install what is needed, and no more" philosophy. Please put /u/s/a/alsa.conf.d back in libasound2-data so that minimal installs can be minimal.

Bug#915125: libasound2-data: Stretch Regression: alsa.conf.d not provided and breaks crouton audio build
Package: libasound2-data Version: 1.1.7-1 Severity: normal Hi, I can install crouton with audio with stretch by running: $ sudo bash ~/Downloads/crouton -r stretch -t audio But it fails when I try with testing/buster: $ sudo bash ~/Downloads/crouton -r buster -t audio Looking into it, it fails on this line: https://github.com/dnschneid/crouton/blob/master/targets/audio#L200 which writes to /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf.d/10-cras.conf, but that directory doesn't exist. https://github.com/dnschneid/crouton/blob/master/targets/audio#L84 shows that it is installing a minimal set of packages including libasound2 and libasound2-dev. Because libasound2-data doesn't provide /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf.d/ anymore, the write to 10-cras.conf fails there and the crouton install fails there because of the error. Bug 912680 makes libasound2-plugins provide that directory, but its dependencies are not required to build CRAS, the Crouton Audio Server, and in the interest of minimal installs, I think libasound2-data should provide /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf.d/ as well, or instead. -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: armhf (armv7l) Kernel: Linux 3.8.11 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968), LANGUAGE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: unable to detect libasound2-data depends on no packages. libasound2-data recommends no packages.
