I haven't looked into this as vigilantly as I should have, but today, I allowed dselect to update things from the current frozen dist in conjunction with installing a new package. After the install finished, running dselect works to the menu, but fails on selecting any option with the message:
dselect: failed to getch in main menu: Success Anyone seen this? I'll look into it further tomorrow, but don't want to reinvent the wheel if not needed. Thanx, Clint
