Where is that upgrade coming from (BTW, thanks to fonse006 for the
explanation). You can do an "apt-cache policy alsa-driver" to see which
package is selected and why.

The planetccrma-core packages are empty. They just make sure you have a
coherent set of packages installed for the kernel and alsa through
requirements. Do a "rpm -q --requires planetccrma-core" to see what I
mean). 

If you are upgrading to versions that are higher than the last Planet
CCRMA release then you will have to erase the planetccrma-core package
to be able to install them (no harm in doing that, except for the
potential mismatch of versions you could end up with).

Just a lot of patience...
