I fought through this after accidentally deleting info. Try editing /var/lib/dpkg/status. Change the status of gimp-smotif to "remove ok not-installed", and delete any lines about installed size. Then go back to dselect, and reinstall gimp-smotif. And if this doesn't work, tell me what it does do; i've fought through this before :) rick
