That makes no sense, though. dselect only knows what it's told from the available file; if you've run the [U]pdate step, it won't know anything about stable. dselect has no concept of stable, testing, or unstable beyond what's in the available file. -- Colin Watson [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
