I did what you told me. After doing dftp getselect it got all the packages, but then ist stopped, so next I did dftp unpack Which kept the system busy for some minutes. Since the packages were still in /root/packages, I then did a dftp clear but this gave me lots of Keeping ./dists/stable/non-free/binary-i386/*/*.deb (not installed) error messages. For example: Keeping ./dists/stable/non-free/binary-i386/x11/xarchie_2.0.10-9.deb (not installed) But when I say: dpkg -s xarchie I get: Version: 2.0.10-9 So what could be wrong with dftp (or with me)?
