And still ubuntu is not happy (and wants me to repeat that 'sudo apt-get 
-f install' madness:

chris at cpc:~$ sudo dpkg -i /home/chris/Desktop/libasound*
[sudo] password for chris:
Selecting previously deselected package libasound2.
(Reading database ... 79080 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking libasound2 (from .../libasound2_1.0.15-3ubuntu3_i386.deb) ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of libasound2:
 libasound2 depends on libc6 (>= 2.7-1); however:
  Version of libc6 on system is 2.6.1-1ubuntu10.
dpkg: error processing libasound2 (--install):
 dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
 libasound2
chris at cpc:~$ sudo apt-get install libc6
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree      
Reading state information... Done
libc6 is already the newest version.
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  libasound2: Depends: libc6 (>= 2.7-1) but 2.6.1-1ubuntu10 is to be 
installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or 
specify a solution).

So, what's broken? ubuntu? dpkg? Me?
