Dear friends: [Using Debian 3.1 Etch]
I am bit confused. I read up on dselect and dpkg online and decided to install a program called kradio with dselect. I downloaded the .deb available on the author's site. In fact, I downloaded an earlier and a later version: kradio_0.3.0-snapshot-2004-02-28_i386.deb kradio_1.0beta1_kde34_i386.deb I decided to play it safe by installing the earlier one. dselect downloaded over 200 packages, mostly updated to make this possible. No problems. No error messages, everything fine in Synaptic. I now proceeded to install the deb. First, the earlier one, then the later one (please remember that I am using the latest files from Etch). But apparently, kradio never installed. I am perplexed by what the data below mean: localhost:/home/sher/DOWNLOADS# dselect install kradio_1.0beta1_kde34_i386.deb Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Do you want to erase any previously downloaded .deb files? [Y/n] y Press enter to continue. dselect: unknown action string `kradio_1.0beta1_kde34_i386.deb' Type dselect --help for help. localhost:/home/sher/DOWNLOADS# dselect remove kradio running dpkg --pending --remove ... dselect: unknown action string `kradio' Type dselect --help for help. localhost:/home/sher/DOWNLOADS# Would appreciate your help and clarification and guidance on how to do this right.
