This alsa-utils update contains broken code in the postinst script which
will cause it to always fail.
if dpkg --compare-versions "$2" le "1.0.23-2ubuntu3.3"; then
# we need to call alsactl init once to activate the cards
# on later boots the state file handles this
id=`cat /proc/asound/card$1/id 2>/dev/null`
if [ "$id" = "Panda" -o "$id" = "SDP4430" ]; then
alsactl init
fi
fi
Specifically, note the path /proc/asound/card$1/id - $1 is always the
literal string "configure" at this point in the script. The path
/proc/asound/cardconfigure/id is always incorrect, causing cat to return
an error. Since the script is executing with "set -e" in force, it
immediately exits with an error status at this point.
