Hi!
I did not 'select' any package in dselect. But when I
select 'install' carelessly, there is a bunch of
packages requested to be installed. Why? Is it
because I am using 'stable' with some 'testing'
packages? How do I solve this issue?

On one of my woody machines, when I do an "Update", and then go into
"Request Packages", all teh new packages are presented to me at the top
of the list. One the otehr machines this is not true, and I cannot seem
to figure out how to change dselect to make it so.

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,

I don't disagree with you at all. However, case in point:

Perl 5.xxx is then downloaded and installed. Again.

Good morning,

Trying the manual approach didn't work (dselect said the contrib directory
