Greetings,
 sudo apt-get install dselect
 sudo dselect update

Did now work for me.  :^(

What I ended up doing was to take the package file, which contains lines
like this:

acl                                             install

and, using a text editor (maybe eventually sed or awk :^) made them look
like this:

apt-get install acl  2>>errors

Did this to the whole file, then chmod'ed it +x and fired it off...

The only real rub is you have to keep hitting enter every now and then
in the install.

Meh...

Flint
