Huh? When I de-select something that is depended on, dselect politely gives me a list of changes. You can easily change them back again, and there are probably keys to do that automagically, too. Despite the bashing every now and then, I still think dselect is a great tool, and not too hard to use if you care to read the manual. I hear there will be even better package-management tools in Potato? (I'm now using slink) Arnout [EMAIL PROTECTED]
