Package: dselect
Version: 1.15.4
Since today's update run dselect is completely confused and does not
remember which packages are new and which are old - it lists all
available and not installed packages as new, again and again. And not
only that, it also marks some of them for installation although I do not
want them (and some are not installable at all - for some reason it
wants to install libsasl2 which is not installable together with
libsasl2-2). I see that it updates available & status, they seem to
contain valid data, but on load it somehow ignores them.
Besides that it creates some strange /var/lib/dpkg/updates/tmp.i which
is full of lines saying '##padding', but other than that I do not see
what can be wrong, and unfortunately diff between 1.15.3.1 and 1.15.4 is
quite huge.
Thanks, Petr

That's what we wanted. Closing this bug again. The fact that it doesn't
keep track of new packages is tracked in #551638 and is not release
critical for us.
Please use the other bug for further discussion.
