I'm having trouble getting dselect to find new packages. I chose the Access method as ftp and pointed it to ftp.debian.org, and went with the defaults. I then chose Update and it went through all the different sections and said that the packages were already updated.
Now my list of installed packages is all labled Obselete and I can't see any uninstalled packages that aren't contrib. None of the packages have descriptions except ones I previously installed using "dpkg -i" and the contrib section. I havn't seen any error messages, but the list is obviously not updated because the last update that worked was from a CD from cheapbytes that only contained contrib packages. Can any one tell me what I'm doing wrong?
