I was looking into updating my alsa sound libraries to 64 bit. I started with adding two modules since I am running a AMD Sempron CPU. After going through the install in Kpackage Package manager. Both these modules are showing a question mark next to them since they probably depend on a 64 bit kernel.
1) alsa-modules-2.4-k7
2) alsa-modules-2.4.27-2-k7
I never did install the kernel and I would like to get rid of these modules along with some other orphans. The problem is that when I try to remove them I get the message:
<pt-get remove --yes -s alsa-modules-2.4.27-2-k7 ;echo RESULT=$?
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
alsa-modules-2.4-k7: Depends: alsa-modules-2.4.27-2-k7 but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
RESULT=100
I receive the same message on both modules. The apt-get -f option did not help. It looks like it wants me to install the new 64 bit kernel first. It also won't let me remove some other unrelated orphans.
My question is...Is there another way of removing these modules so that I can get back to normal?
I am runnin Debian Linux that was install from Knoppix..multi user version 2.6.12. I am new at Linux but I have been doing a lot of reading and testing. I would appreciate any help on this item.
Thank you in advance.
