I am not familiar with dpkg, now I tried the aptitude, during updating it showed me something like: Unpacking replacement nautilus ... Selecting previously *unselected package* mplayer. Preparing to replace mplayer 3:1.1-dmo5 (using .../mplayer_3%3a1.1-dmo6_amd64.deb) . only the newly-updated ones shows me "install". What was a bit worse is that I even tried the dpkg --set-selections it chocked there, so I just quited.
