dselect has an "Update" option which will grab the latest packages list. It does this by looking at /etc/apt/sources.list . This file tells dselect (along with all the debian packaging tools, such as aptitude and apt) where to get these files from. The file should look something like: deb ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free take a look at the sources.list man pages for more info. Also, you might find you'll get better and/or quicker responses sending messages to debian-user rather than debian-security, as this isn't really a security-related question (certainly not directly, anyway).
