    broken pipe with alsa-utils

    Any ideas what's happening here? I'm trying to pop on some of the suggested and recommended packages for mplayer: alsa-utils is one of the dependencies. I get:

    Unpacking alsa-utils (from .../alsa-utils_0.9.8-1_i386.deb) ...
    dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/alsa-utils_0.9.8-1_i386.deb (--unpack):
    trying to overwrite `/usr/bin/alsamixer', which is also in package knx-alsa
    dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)
    Errors were encountered while processing:
    /var/cache/apt/archives/alsa-utils_0.9.8-1_i386.deb

    Ideas welcomed -- does it look like I have to bin knx-alsa and rebuild it from Debian?

    You may be able to get away with a dpkg -i --force-overwrite alsa-utils_0.9.8-1_i386.deb in the /var/cache/apt/archives directory as root, it is only the utilities not the modules so it should work.

    Wierd stuff. I ran as root, natch:

    dpkg -i --force-overwrite alsa-utils_0.9.8-1_i386.deb

    and got an error about not being able to access package, no such file or directory

    (My bad -- I should have read your post properly and cded to the directory! Anyway.........)

    So I ran locate and gave it a path:

    root@niglo:/home/john# dpkg -i --force-overwritevar/cache/apt/archives/alsa-ut
    ils_0.9.8-1_i386.deb

    to which it said:

    dpkg - warning, overriding problem because --force enabled:
    trying to overwrite `/usr/bin/alsamixer', which is also in package knx-alsa
    dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of alsa-utils:
    alsa-utils depends on alsa-base (>= 0.9.2-1); however:
    Package alsa-base is not configured yet.

    So I did an apt-get install alsa-base and it replied:

    Building Dependency Tree... Done
    alsa-base is already the newest version.

    but it then proceeded to install alsa-utils!

    And it looks like its installing the Win32 codecs and libdvdcss2.


    Thanks Stephen!
