Hi all, anyone have any experience setting up i3 with i3status on
Ubuntu 10.04? 10.04's default libasound2 is 1.0.22:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
i3status: Depends: libasound2 (> 1.0.24.1) but 1.0.22-0ubuntu7 is installed.

Doesn't look like libasound2 will get updated for 10.04 past 1.0.22:

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/i386/libasound2

Anyone have any workarounds or fixes for getting i3status working in 10.04?

Thanks,
Byron
