good point! it worked. I have never paid attention to dselect since I installed debian first - a horrible experience. Since then I allways make a minimal install and apt-get what I want. But now I realized that dselect handles dependencies superior to apt. How comes i thought they use the same database. thank you!!! (a third time today) tim
