Actually, I fixed the problem yesterday for myself by editing /var/lib/apt/lists/http.us.debian.org_debian_dists_unstable_main_binary-i386_Packages and apt did not download a new one on the next dselect update. I think maybe it compares timestamps and does not download a new packages file if the local one is newer. -- Dave Carrigan ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) | Yow!
