Hi There Lance,
I think one of the best ways to solve this problem would be with the
'dpkg --set-selections' command. Get all the names of the packages you
want to have it quit trying to install. Then you can the above command
on a command line and it will be waiting for your entries,

ok I have the packages.gz file but when I read it it says
Package: whatever.deb
and so on but then it says
filename: dists/stable/main/binary-i386/whatever
should I change that filename to the directory I put all my packages in so
dselect runs correctly?

I wanted to use dselect because it could show me dependencies and
suggestions, before it tried to install them. I grabbed a few packages
and it turned out they had some dependencies I did not expect. So I had
a half installed package left behind. Thought dselect might have helped
here. Is there
Is it a must that you use dselect? Try just typing:
dpkg -i /usr/local/debian/*

I don't disagree with you at all. However, case in point:
*** Perl 5.x shows up in the dselect list.
Perl 5.xxx is then downloaded and installed. Again.
What might I have misconfigured?

Those packages which are already installed will show up in the "uptodate"

show up as "available" with the mark __
