Subject: alsa-utils package should have dependency on pciutils package
Date: Mon, 30 Nov 2020 21:42:24 +0000
Package: alsa-utils
Version: 1.1.8-2
Severity: minor

The diagnostic script /usr/sbin/alsa-info will not run unless the lspci 
command is available. lspci is provided by the pciutils package. 

For example, Debian Live 10.6 KDE (the system I am running 'reportbug' on) 
includes alsa-utils but not pciutils, and running /usr/sbin/alsa-info 
results in the message:

This script requires lspci. Please install it, and re-run this script.
