Package: liboss4-salsa-asound2
Version: 4.2-build2007-2
Severity: normal Greetings Maintainer, I am trying to update my debian unstable and dselect tries to install the liboss4-salsa2 and the liboss4-salsa-asound2 packages for no reason. These packages conflict with the libasound2 and so now dselect tries to remove a bunch of packages which depend on libasound2.
Now dselect wants to remove alsa-utils, iceape, iceweasel, ffmpeg, vlc, mplayer ... because of liboss4-salsa-asound2 and that would break my system. I do not want liboss4 packages and no other packages I have installed depend on liboss4. For some reason dselect is trying to install them. -- System Information:
