This makes sense but only if you think like a computer. > Sorry folks. I got this all WRONG. The install command only skips deselected packages. I don't know what happened to the original posters dselect (it removed everything) but install does NOT remove pkgs marked for removal. You must use the remove command. Perhaps his dselect is corrupt in some fashion? Perhaps he mis-understands how to select/deselect in dselect? Richard B.
