It should just install those packages once you set the selections.

You said to "purge all un-installed apps". I mis-read that. Mind you, it
wasn't well written anyway. :) What you mean is, you "remove'd" a package

dpkg does. if you do dpkg -i foo.deb,

Bullshit. (Sorry, but I even did an strace on apt-get dselect-upgrade
just now to be sure, and nowhere does it access
/var/lib/dpkg/available).
It *will* use dselect's package
I did a dselect update from within dselect but got the same missing
packages as before when I did apt-get dselect-upgrade. I have not had
any problems doing it this way before, but in the last two days its
not working.
Looking on the debian site, I cannot find an up to date binary for
util
ons in
dselect, so you know eg. what you are upgrading in advance. Then, when
you run install in dselect, it will do the "apt-get dselect-upgrade"
for you. So if you stay in dselect the whole time, it is even less
typing than with apt-get.

'apt-get update' only updates apt's available file, not dpkg's. 'dselect
update' updates both.
However, if you're using apt, then this shouldn't matter. It may just be

I was having this problem as well on a potato machine. I never found
out what the problem was, but it somehow fixed itself. I don't think
it had anything directly to do with apt-get or dpkg, but perhaps a
bug in libc? Do an apt-get dist-updgrade and then play around with it
again. One
I got this on my Slink machine running 2.3.17, no idea what caused it.
2.3.16 and 2.3.18 had no problem with the same .config used to compile.
