Don't run it? ;-) Seriously, dselect probably has a good reason to do this. A program that you requested to install probably has some dependencies that conflict with some programs that are already installed. It should have presented you with a screen stating the conflict and asking you how to solve it. To get that screen again you can go to Select in the main menu. Then tell it to install those programs again that it has doomed for removal. Dselect should now complain and present you with the screen that mentions the problems. That screen should have all the info you need to at least be able to understand why dselect is harassing you and hopefully be able to fix it. If it doesn't work, please give some more info, like the packages involved and their version numbers (currently installed version and to be installed version).
