They aren't just in obsolete/local? If they are, you can safely ignore them. If dselect thinks they're unconfigured then they probably are (dselect gets its information from the dpkg database, and installing via dselect is really not much different from 'dpkg -i'); does 'dpkg --configure -a' help? >how do u reset the deselect so that it doesn't pick up the packages as >existing in the system Er, if a package has been installed with dpkg than you can't tell dselect it doesn't exist without doing serious violence to your packaging system. I don't recommend that at all. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
