Strange follow-up behavior: I did rpm -e --nodeps. That caused crash notifier popups on login, and no sound for multiple login/logout cycles, including one reboot. Next I force reinstalled trinity-libarts-akode, which pulled in trinity-akode. More login/logout cycles and still the crashing with no sound. Crashing stopped and sound returned after a second reboot following the forced installation. > It is likely that 'libakode' was installed before Trinity on your > computer, and the 'trinity-akode' does not obsolete 'libakode', so it > was kept intact. :-( -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
