...Is there any possibility to fool 'dselect' into believing that any dependency conflicts are non existent? ... FWIW, I second this. My preferred way of using debian is to install and maintain the vast majority of packages with dselect, and then hand-install and hand-maintain things like the kernel source, XFree86, and various beta packages. It turns out that dselect presently makes this quite difficult, for the reasons cited by Paul S. Perhaps there could be a command line option for dselect which makes "requires" act like "suggests" -- something which makes dselect tell the user that certain changes should be made, but *never* automatically change the "Marked For" setting. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
