All I know is running apt-get dselect-upgrade updates bash. A subsequent run of dselect-upgrade installs bash-completion. One then needs to do apt-get remove bash-completion if one does not want it. A subsequent run of dselect-upgrade at this point will install nothing.
Therefore for those of us who don't want bash-completion installed, one has to do the above routine each time one updates bash, apparently. As for the tangle of Replaces, Depends, Conflicts: too hard to read for me. version info: bash: Installed: 3.2-2 (I also note the bash package depends on some curses stuff, extra baggage for a pure batch environment (yes, rare.)) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
