HELP - I've royally screwed up my dselect package listing. I was working in dselect to get rid of packages that I never use on my server (games, xemacs, etc) and had a finger slip that removed a required package and exited to the menu. Now almost every package is set to remove. How can I get the packages list rebuilt?
If this has to be done manually, is there a way to force apt/dselect to downgrade to slink (the slink cd is in the cd changer on the machine and the machine is currently running potato)? TIA, chris -- Your aims are high, and you are capable of much.
