You should probably use apt-get instead of dselect. Much less agony. > I never selected any of those packages for installation. Why > does dselect want to install them? I'm not sure what dselect is doing, perhaps it is installing 'suggested' packages as well as required ones. Apt-get only installs required packages. Any optional junk you have to apt-get separately.
