I had tried that, David, and only got the offer of 'xmms', repeating shows:-
------------- Leary:/home/john# apt-get install alsa-xmms Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done Note, selecting xmms instead of alsa-xmms
This looks like alsa-xmms predepends on xmms, which is hardly surprising. Xmms has a myriad of these. If alsa-xmms didn't exist, your packet manager would say so, as in:- "alsa-xmms, no such package," quite emphatically.
Suggested packages: unzip Recommended packages: libmikmod2 libvorbis0 The following NEW packages will be installed: xmms 0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 40 not upgraded. Need to get 2013kB of archives. After unpacking 6255kB of additional disk space will be used. Get:1 http://ftp.uk.debian.org testing/main xmms 1.2.10-1 [2013kB] 25% [1 xmms 507879/2013kB 25%]30.3kB/s 49s 29% [1 xmms 601999/2013kB 29%]29.6kB/s 47s ----I aborted at this stage---- ---------------
A package search on Debian.org in both Sarge and Testing failed to show 'alsa-xmms'. Very puzzling to me.
Not gospel, but it looks as though alsa-xmms is an integral part of the xmms package to the point where it is not recognised as a separate entity.
You may have to install xmms to get it. I can't think of any other reason as to why your package manager would respond by installing an apparently unrequested package otherwise.
Thanks for the response. John.
No problem. Regards,
David.
