The problem is that all three packages Depend on each other as seen from grep-dctrl -sPackage,Depends -FPackage -e 'alsaplayer-(alsa|common|gtk)' Package: alsaplayer-alsa Depends: libasound2 (>> 1.0.9), libc6 (>= 2.3.5-1), alsaplayer-common (= 0.99.76-7) ----------------- Package: alsaplayer-common Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3.5-1), libflac7, libgcc1 (>= 1:4.0.1), libid3tag0 (>= 0.15.1b), libmad0 (>= 0.15.1b), libmikmod2 (>= 3.1.10), libogg0 (>= 1.1.2), liboggflac3, libsndfile1 (>= 1.0.2-1), libstdc++6 (>= 4.0.1), libvorbis0a (>= 1.1.0), libvorbisfile3 (>= 1.1.0), zlib1g (>= 1:1.2.1), alsaplayer-alsa | alsaplayer-output, --------------- alsaplayer-gtk | alsaplayer-interface -------------- Package: alsaplayer-gtk Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3.5-1), libgcc1 (>= 1:4.0.1), libglib1.2 (>= 1.2.0), libgtk1.2 (>= 1.2.10-4), libstdc++6 (>= 4.0.1), libx11-6 | xlibs (>> 4.1.0), libxext6 | xlibs (>> 4.1.0), libxi6 | xlibs (>> 4.1.0), xlibmesa-gl | libgl1, alsaplayer-common (= 0.99.76-7) ----------------- There's no real reason that alsaplayer-common needs to Depend on an alsaplayer-output variant or an alsaplayer-interface variant. As a user, if I just want to look at the common files for some reason, I sholudn't need to install alsaplayer-(output|gtk). Those would be fine as Recommends.
