Please advise as I would like to get OSS to support my new USB external audio device (Bus 002 Device 003 above) and then be able to voice chat in Skype. Thanks!

try
apt-get -f install
to remove the package
and then dpkg again.

Thank you, raghaven.kumar. I forgot to post here that the original problem has been solved; now I'm looking for a way to get OSS to support Skype v.2.0.0.72 (in mentioning this, I may be annyong the moderators with a duplicate post, for which I apologize). I guess the trick is to get "/dev/dsp/" to appear in the drop-down lists of Skype's "Sound Devices" dialogue.

Thank you for your time and I apologize for not posting earlier that the issue was resolved.
