Hi, I'm a newbie to Debian Linux. Somehow I made a mistake, and now whenever I run dselect, it'll try to uninstall about 200 KDE packages. Thus I cannot install or remove any package without risk of messing up the whole system. It seems to be a lot of work to manually re-select the 200 KDE packages in dselect. I hope there is way to reset package selection in dselect so that I can keep current installed packages and install new packages. I did some search, and cannot find a solution.
I saw somebody submitted Bug#35639: dpkg: No undo for operations in dselect (http://lists.debian.org/debian-dpkg/1999/debian-dpkg-199904/msg00009.html). It seems the bug was closed without any code changes. But it's still a problem for me in Woody. Does anyone know how to undo dselect after mistakes are made in previous execution of dselect? If so, please also cc the answer to me. I highly appreciate your help! Robert Fu __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
