udev is already the newest version.
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created

The version in unstable appears to depend on a more recent kernel. So, it seems
to me, alsa-utils in uninstallable and if you happened to lose the old version
while upgrading alsa-base, you can't neatly get it back except by hunting for
it from the pool. (I couldn't find it, actually.)
So you'll end up with a host without alsa-mixer, alsaconf, alsactl etc. It
seems this has been so for a good while now.

Thanks for the report.
alsa-utils is installable but it Conflicts with the version of udev
currently in testing. That is not a bug.
If I had it to do over again I wouldn't have let alsa-utils 1.0.9a-4
drop into testing until udev >= 0.060 had dropped into testing.
However, now that alsa-utils 1.0.9a-4 is in testing it is difficult
to remove it.
The inconvenience should go away as soon as udev >= 0.060 makes it
into testing.
