The dpkg man page section on the --set-selections switch says some
other program is needed to actually install the selected packages. I
think it should give an example, such as the following:

set the selection state on the requested packages. You will need some
other application to actually download and install the requested
packages.
+For example, run \fBdselect\fP and choose "Install".
Ordinarily, you will find that \fBdselect\fP(8) provides a more
convenient way to modify the package selection states.

Changes:
dpkg (1.10.11) unstable; urgency=low
.
* dpkg no longer provides any BYHAND files. If you need the source
tarball, use the orig.tar.gz file available in the pool. The
precompiled tars were hold-overs from when debs were not standard
ar/tar files.
* Install /usr/share/doc/dpkg/pseudo-tags, which talks about the bug
titling we use to mark bugs for filtering in the Debian bts.
* Updated ca.po.
* Teach dpkg-source that ~ is legal in version numbers
* Add build-depends on sgml-base, and increase gettext build-depends to
0.12.1-3.
* Updated config.sub and config.guess in cvs.
* Change use of strncpy in parsedb to memcpy. Closes: #160447
* No longer generate helpmsgs.{cc,h}.
* several controllib changes:
* Moved dependency parsing logic from dpkg-checkbuilddeps.
The dpkg-checkbuilddeps parser didn't support empty fields, while
the controllib parser did.
* All dependency fields parsed by controllib.pl support [arch]
specifiers. If the arch specifier doesn't apply for the current
arch, then the item will not be added to the internal list structure.
* Comment lines(that begin with '#') are removed during parsing.
* Store the original casing of field names, for use in error reporting.
* Store the original field's casing with 'o:' prepended in %fi.
* [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
dpkg-checkbuilddeps now handles empty fields. Closes: #111562
* Branden Robinson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
support comments(first char on line begins with '#') in

* Branden Robinson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

* Patch dpkg-buildpackage to call debian/rules -qn build-arch, and if
it's available, modify -B handling appropriately. If build-arch is not
available, then when -B was called, do *not* pass -B on to
dpkg-checkbuilddeps. Closes: #203097

Add set -e to dpkg-doc.postinst. Closes: #191261
* Michael Weber <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
dpkg --print-architecture now does gcc -dumpmachine instead of
--print-libgcc-file-name. Closes: #131893, #8241, #106793, #210285
* Daniel Silverstone <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Apply patch to change hashing function, and increase bin size, for
