is there a way in dselect to achieve the same result?
ddd:/var/lib/dpkg/xxx# cat wipedeinst.sed # sed -f wipedeinst.sed <status s/Status: deinstall ok installed/Status: install ok installed/
i already did this, because, well it is a bit hard to explain, but
dselect wanted to remove a bunch of software, i had to quit dselect, i
did the following and everything is fine now, but, er it is the second
time i did this, essentially i am telling dpkg to quit bothering me
about uninstalling many packages, i cant think about what i initially
tried to remove or install to get that going - oops
