Next I run dselect. Without changing any package ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ You didn't update the dselect available list tho, only apt-get's. try doing your update like this apt-get update && dselect update, which updates both lists. I haven't run dselect in years so won't comment it's operation. -- The programmer's national anthem is 'AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH'. _______________________________________________________
