Okay, so I'm in different package hell this time. In trying to install a sound driver, dselect has somehow decided to remove most of the software on my computer. I'm talking as far as removing apt-get and a bunch of other system utilities.
Plus, when I try to re-fetch anything with dselect, I get about a million attempts to install or remove a bunch of other stuff, all of which gives me DPKG ERRORs. All dependency problems. It seems to have a list somewhere of left-over jobs it still has to do, and it keeps trying to do them. Now, I can manually ftp things and install them one at a time. But how do I ever get dselect back to a state of sanity? I've tried removing its configuration files, and it just refuses to run. Is there some other way to "reset" it?
