I don't think it's possible through dselect; you have to work directly with dpkg, which means that first you need to find the .deb file that contains the package in question. After that, doing: dpkg -i /path/to/file/name.deb will install or reinstall a given package. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
