You should go through the first two menu items in dselect, Access and Update. This will update dselect with the current list of packages. Also, please update dpkg manually to the 1.1.5 or 1.1.6 a.out version before running dselect. Many of the new packages need the new dpkg to be installed. > When removing packages with dselect are the selected packages removed or > retained? I had a bad experience with this.

Only packages you have marked for removal, by using either '-' or '_' in the select window, should be removed. All other packages should be left alone. David -- David Engel Optical Data Systems, Inc.
