try zless or zmore...they are shell scripts which basically unzip the

Yesterday, I sent the following message to debian-user. Still trying to
figure out how to fix this problem. Is it possible that the error is a
result of a bug in the alsa-source package? Or is it something else?
I am afraid I don't know much about ELF headers.
