Package: alsa-base Version: 1.0.14-1 Severity: important Alsaconf calls update-modules to load the sound modules after configuration but now update-modules is deprecated and does nothing. Hence the modules are *not* loaded for testing.
<ErrorMessage> Running update-modules... ************************************************************************ * * The update-modules command is deprecated and should not be used! * ************************************************************************ Loading driver... Usage: /etc/init.d/alsa {unload|reload|force-unload|force-reload|suspend|resume} Setting default volumes... amixer: Mixer attach default error: No such device =============================================================================== Now ALSA is ready to use. For adjustment of volumes, use your favorite mixer. Have a lot of fun! </ErrorMessage> "man update-modules" says "update-modules is an obsolete command which does nothing. Any program calling it should be fixed."
