Hi, all... I just joined the list, in hopes of finding a solution to a problem I had some time back with upgrading my Debian system via APT/dselect.
I had installed 2.1 from CD, and then used dselect to install nearly all of the packages I was using. Within a week after 2.2 was released (week of Aug 15), I went into dselect and updated the package lists and proceeded to upgrade my system. Wow, was I surprised when a number of packages were removed from my system at the end. I had a fun time getting perl back on my system, and a really cool guy from work created a custom package for me so I could get Majordomo running again. Well, since then, I haven't had much time to go in and get everything working again and have had a semi-crippled system all this time. Among the things that are not working or are not installed now since my "upgrade" are: samba (broken), lynx (missing). I've been wary of going into dselect again since I still have a few very important things working (IPMasq w/VPN support) that are critical for me to login to work remotely. So... anyone else see something like this, and hopefully have some suggestions/solutions for me? I would greatly appreciate any input that would allow me to avoid having to completely re-install Debian from scratch (and I'd probably go with 2.1 since that had majordomo, lynx, etc). -Chris
