Hi, The other day I updated my system from slink to potato, and now dselect and apt are broken. First off, if I go into dselect and choose Access, Update, or Install, it exits out to the shell with the error:
dselect: unable to access method script `/usr/lib/dpkg//methods/charset/setup': Not a directory The other dselect choices work. "apt-get update" works, however, "apt-get install" always says: 0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 11 not upgraded. regardless of what I chose in dselect. I can't install or update anything with apt right now. I can still install packages with dpkg -i. I tried downloading a new version of the dpkg package a few minutes ago, however, it didn't make a difference. Any ideas how I can fix things? Ed
