Hmm, this should probably be python2-pyalsa though (which is not packaged). Could you check, whether `pip2 install --user pyalsa` fixes this for you? This might just be another hidden depends, that is just not very clear, as upstream doesn't use setuptools. > > ■ python2 /usr/share/solfege/solfege/download_pyalsa.py > > Traceback (most recent call last): > > File "/usr/share/solfege/solfege/download_pyalsa.py", line 25, in <module> > > import solfege > > ImportError: No module named solfege > > ...

Please do so and tell them to also finally release a new version. The current "stable" is super ancient. ;-) However, I never got a reply on that request from the maintainer. I guess the newer versions of solfege might mitigate these issues or might even be python3... Best, David -- https://sleepmap.de
