If I run apt-get dselect-upgrade then the 400+ packages are listed for removal.jano kupec wrote:
did you run dselect after this? isn't it that dselect re-resolved

If you do:
dpkg --set-selections < file
Then you *will* have to do:
apt-get dselect-upgrade
before you then apt-get install

If I run apt-get upgrade then nothing is listed for removal. This suggests that apt-get and dselect are out of sync in terms of which packages should remain installed.
I cannot tell if aptitude wants to remove any packages, as I am still trying to learn how to use apptitude as well as I understand dselect.
