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.Originally Posted by fingers99
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?

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!
