Ok, I've pretty much been using nothing but apt-get so far, but I
like the browsing capabilities of dselect. So, I have a few questions.
First of all, how do I read the above? Why is it that these
packages are considered obsolete? Or is it just that they're local?
I see that it's marked libqt2.1 for removal automatically. I take
it that means that if I hit enter and install, it will remove this
package?
Why this default selection of packages? What if I just want
dselect to explicitely do what it's told and not perform these automatic
selections for upgrade and removal?
