Hi there. Installing new packages via dselect doesn't work anymore for me but I have no idea were to start looking for clues, so I just post the output, with a few comments. I can provide further information if necessary.
-- I already selected some packages and went for install: -- Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done Correcting dependencies...
