Everytime I mess w/ the sources.list, and go into dselect, it seems to arbitrarily choose a bunch of stuff to install. Well for instance adding "testing" for the first time. I don't even select anything, and then there is this mess of dependency and it ALWAYS wants to remove kdelibs4, libarts1, and some other things, which would totally break a bunch of stuff I use (like KDE for instance).
I'm having a hard time figuring out exactly what it has decided I should install, WHY it is suddenly telling me to install anything, and why it would favor older versions of anything. I've also noticed dozens of posts to this list with "apt-get ..." and almost none that mention dselect, what's up with that? If I do an "apt-get upgrade" would that be roughly the same as just accepting dselect's "suggestions" or whatever they are? How does apt-get resolve all this mess while dselect seems to get confused? If I do an "apt-get upgrade" how I can I copy all the text into a file for later perusal? If I > then it doesn't work as I can't answer the prompts.
