Hmm, While I agree that dselect could use some functionality to help users who screw up dependancy's It's far from antiquated. In fact, as a former RedHat (RPM) user, I can say that the debian package management system (and it's frony end, dselect) is very advanced. Keep in mind, dselect is the -standard- debian package management front end. as such, it must be able to run on ANY debian system, including 386 -class machines with black-and-white terminals and no X Windows. You may be interested in looking into the GTK front-end instead. I haven't used it myself, so I can't really say if it's any more "user-friendly".
