Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: alsa-utils
upgrade of alsa-utils expects exactly one asound device, described by
/proc/asound/cardconfigure/id
But I have two ...
$ grep ^ /proc/asound/card?/id
/proc/asound/card0/id:IXP
/proc/asound/card1/id:Modem
I'm not an Alsa guru, don't know whether the card%d/id is replacing
cardconfigure/id, or the other way around.
Where the postinst script says
configure)
...
id=`cat /proc/asound/card$1/id 2>/dev/null`
if [ "$id" = "Panda" -o "$id" = "SDP4430" ]; then
alsactl init
fi
it should probably
1/ don't cat card$1/id here - that expands to cardconfigure/id which is not
what's needed
2/ cope with missing id file(s) by `cat ... || true`
3/ cycle thru any/all cards by
for id in `cat /proc/asound/card*/id 2>/dev/null`
do case "$id" in (Panda|SDP4430) alsactl init;; esac
done
This is in 10.10 incrementally upgraded since ~8.04, so the problem may
not exist in fresh 10.10 installs
