Package: alsaplayer-common Severity: normal
Hi, just try out to install the following combination of alsaplayer components: apt-get install alsaplayer-text alsaplayer-alsa Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done The following extra packages will be installed: alsaplayer-common alsaplayer-oss Recommended packages: alsaplayer The following NEW packages will be installed: alsaplayer-alsa alsaplayer-common alsaplayer-oss alsaplayer-text 0 upgraded, 4 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Hmm, strange: I selected alsaplayer-alsa. Why is alsaplayer-oss going to be installed? Maybe I should try another combination: apt-get install alsaplayer-alsa alsaplayer-text Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done The following extra packages will be installed: alsaplayer-common alsaplayer-gtk Recommended packages: alsaplayer The following NEW packages will be installed: alsaplayer-alsa alsaplayer-common alsaplayer-gtk alsaplayer-text 0 upgraded, 4 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Ui, now alsaplayer-oss is not selected anymore but alsaplayer-gtk is. Sadly, on an installation without X, this will select packages for X and GTK! It is simply impossible to install _only_ the above combination. I am not sure if this is a dependency problem or a problem with apt-get. The only work-around I found was to use aptitude, select alsaplayer-text and alsa-player-alsa (order matters) and deselect alsaplayer-oss. BTW: why is alsaplayer-oss the default for a software named after _ALSA_?
