Try:
dpkg -i man-db
I'm not sure of the exact syntax, but basically you're telling the debian
installer
(dpkg, of which dselect is the front-end) to install the man-db .deb package.
Or if
you have apt, you can try:
apt-get install man-db
Again, I'm not sure of the syntax. Apt is the next-generation replacement for
dselect/dpkg, but is only partially functional; even so, many Debs prefer it to
dselect/dpkg.
