Hmmm, ok. What's strange is, using 'apt' with dselect the whole
time, an 'update' and 'install' chose to download and install the
"previously deselected", non-free versions of Communicator thus
creating a conflict (now if I go to 'select', it wants to rectify
this conflict upon exiting). Shouldn't 'apt' with dselect have been
just as good at handling the dependencies as 'apt-get'? And now
that I have the conflict, should I let 'select's resolution of
removing the non-free packages prevail?
