I now installed Debian 1.1 using dpkg alone and doing away with dselect. Fits my style of work better anyway :-) However, I tried dselect once again and it really seems it it using the information from the Packages* file, regardless of the contents of the directories. WIBNI there was at least a way to let it go search the directories themselves if the user so desires? This may take longer but it means that it's got accurate information. kai -- Life is hard and then you die.
