Is there a way to get apt-get or dpkg to tell you about suggested packages?
This can make the difference between having something _technically_
installed, and having the installation be usefull. So far as I know, dselect
is the only package manager that does this and is stable too.
As for how to fix this problem, I'd suggest just taking note of what dselect
want's to uninstall, then seek out those packages from the select screen and
mark them to be "installed", which will un-do the removal mark.

That's nothing! If you play it forward, it'll install Windows 2000.
