Originally posted by asimov thanks, but hal depends on udev, and gnome-volume-manager depends on hal, and gnome-desktop-environment depends on it and so on...
I really want to keep gnome
Is it a bug?
Ah I see I am running KDE and do not need any of that. It is not a bug you just need a higher version of udev than you are trying to install as you can see below you need greater than 0.6.0.
No, not a bug. I had the same problem. Opened a topic a couple of days ago. The maintainer of alsa-utils said that he should have waited with putting this version in testing until the new udev was accepted in testing. I've got a solution though:
1 - Add the unstable repositories to your /etc/apt/sources.list, like this
Or you could grab the alsa packages from stable. If you go all the way to unstable, you'll run into broken dependencies very soon again. And when unstable breaks, where are you going to upgrade to in order to fix things? Experimental?
