Hello everyone!
Please I really need help.
Installing archives via dselect doesn't work anymore
and I am not willing to reinstall from scratch.

My question is:
Is there a way to tell dselect to go back to its
After the recent uproar over dselect, I started looking for some
decent documentation that I could point to when someone was having

ch-dselect-main.html
ch-dselect-conclu
Everytime you [U]pdate, your old 'status' list gets replaced. If you
had information on packages you installed on your own (either built by
you locally, or obtained from sources outside your Debian CD), this
