Hi,

Debian conflicts between alsa-lib_1.1.4 and libasound2-data 1.1.3:

in the source tree of alsa-lib I do:

./configure && make && sudo checkinstall

and the result is:

Unpacking alsa-lib (1.1.4.1-1) ... dpkg: error processing archive /home/temp/alsa-lib-1.1.4.1/alsa-lib_1.1.4.1-1_amd64.deb (--install): trying to overwrite '/usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf', which is also in package libasound2-data 1.1.3-5

This is a Debian packaging issue. It's better to contact the Debian alsa-lib package maintainer(s) directly.

In debian upstream, libasound2 package based on alsa-lib v1.1.4 is not released yet[1]. I think you tried packaging by yourself.

As long as I know, for the 'alsa.conf' file itself, alsa-lib doesn't get any change. Furthermore, as long as I generate libasound2 package based on alsa-lib v1.1.4.1 release with handy-modified debian stuffs from v1.1.3 package, I cannot reproduce the bug.

I doubt that you have some mistakes in your procedure to packaging for it. Anyway, this doesn't matter to ALSA upstream. Please have conversation in any debian community activity.
