Package dependency sets are a complicated beast. Dselect in fact makes it easier to manage packages, if you accept the dificulties that are at the conceptual level. > but i have already installed gnome with "tasksel", and use tasksel i cannot > uninstall, or Problem is my test version "Woody"? You can, if you use dselect correctly. Read the dselect documentation. Use dselect. If you do not understand something particular about it, feel free to ask on debian-user. If you have an idea to make it better, feel free to send a patch to the bug tracking system. IMHO "dselect is difficult" is not very sensible to say, vi is more difficult. If vi is too difficult, then unix is not for you. Maybe computers, even. Cheers, Joost
