Thanks. I'm glad to get the package manager running again. And it turned out not to be a security thing after all. Actually, I didn't mess up the rest of that source file. Inelegant as it is, that's what installs in Intrepid by default. the only problem still is that the packages I've download

Hi, Daniel. Thanks for the quick reply. Unfortunately, your solution didn't work. I removed asound.conf and .asoundrc by using sudo, to no immediate effect. Then I ran update manager, thinking a package might need to be fixed. No effect either. Then I removed the third related entry, asound.state,
