They are equally as reliable, but check different things. dselect will prompt you about Suggests:, and be quite insistent about Recommends:. apt-get will ignore Suggests:, and I can't remember how it deals with Recommends:. When I'm not familiar with the recommendations and suggestions made by a package, I tend to use dselect instead, as that way I at least get told about everything relevant. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
