Thank you for your help!
I've (hopefully) figured out the problem:
The problem is that something failed in the main distribution an
therefor the script terminates itself. But this was you aren't able to
install i.e. libmagick-gif from non-free because the imagemagic
package fails in main due to missing libmagick-gif. So you have to
install libmagick-gif by hand 8-(( (or use the ftp method from
dselect)
Can this serios problem be fixed in 1.3.1!?
Here some logs from dselect:
<--------------
If you make a mistake, use the interrupt key (^C) to abort.
I see that /dev/cdrom exists and is a block device.
Insert the CD-ROM and enter the block device name [/dev/cdrom]:
All directory names should be entered relative to the root of the CD-ROM.
I would like to know where on the CD-ROM the top level of the Debian
distribution is - this will usually contain the Packages-Master file.
If the CD-ROM is badly organised and doesn't have a straightforward copy of
the distribution you may answer `none' and we'll go through the parts
I need individually.
Distribution top level ? [none] /
