I made a mesh of dselect -> apt-get -> dpkg: i use slink with dselect access-method apt, in sources.list an ftp-source for unstable (potato) packages. The new enlightenment needed a new libc6, and the new libc6 causes the renewal of practically half my distribution, which i don't like to do over a telephone-line. So i decided not to download. But now i can't get back a clean dselect selection list: even if i think i have set everything on hold (=), there are packages back on select (*). It seems i have pushed on Enter at least once to often.
Also i have tried a --get-selections / --set-selections cycle, changing the 'install' to 'hold' in between. My two questions are: - how do i bring back dselect to a healthy state - where can i find a clear, not cryptic, discussion of dselect, especially the interaction of the + - = keys, and the X Q D R and U keys (and the role of the Old Mark). egbert -- Egbert Bouwman - Keizersgracht 197 II - 1016 DS Amsterdam - 020 6257991 ========================================================================
