I confirm the problem with kernel 2.6.29-2-686 (linux-image-2.6.29-2-686 from standard debian package http://packages.debian.org/search?suite=sid§ion=all&arch=any&searchon=names&keywords=linux-image-2.6.29-2-686installed using pinning) on: 1) a squeeze install created dist-upgrading from lenny 2) on a lenny install.
The debian package linux-headers-2.6.29-2-686 was installed, too. I downloaded and installed the latest alsa-source ( http://packages.debian.org/search?suite=sid&searchon=names&keywords=alsa-source) and it was installed using dpkg -i. Then, I gave the following commands: m-a update m-a prepare m-a a-i alsa-source The first two commands successfully completed. On the contrary, the third command: m-a a-i alsa-source stopped during "step four" complaining for errors that were reported in a very long log file (/var/cache/modass/alsa-source.buildlog.2.6.29-2-686.1244157605).
