I do not understand this. Why isn't kanjidic installed? Not that I need this particular package, but this _should_ work, shouldn't it? I use slink, kernel 2.0.36 on a pentium-based system. (the below was cut-n-pasted from an xterm. I only changed the prompt.)
# dselect install Get currently installed package versions.............(etc) Got 408 installed/pending packages Scanning available packages....................(etc) Installation OK. Hit RETURN. # dpkg --status kanjidic Package: kanjidic Status: install ok not-installed Priority: optional Section: non-free/text #
