Ok, the same thing happens with alsa-driver packages. I am able to specify the
alsa-driver-i686 package on the command-line, and slapt-get responds as it
should, saying it exists and all, but when I try and install the package
alsa-driver-smp-i686, the same thing happens. Can't find package alsa.

I don't think it is my repository, so I think there is a problem with slapt-get
somewhere, and not being able to handle more than 3 dash-separated name fields.
