[mythtv-users] apt-get ALSA package broken

[Jason Donahue]

Weel, that would explain the broke dependancy...unfortunately, this is
what I got:

apt-get install alsa-devices kernel-module-`uname -r`
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
E: Couldn't find package alsa-devices

And I took a look atrpms.net, and there doesn't seem to be an rpm for
alsa-devices. Any idea where I can pick it up?
