Howdy, I have had two problems with dselect v.1.4.8 for a couple of months now and I am at my wits end.
1) After I upgraded to 1.2, I have had a problem with packages that I select and dselect silently ignores them. The three files that I have found are 'menu', 'macutils', 'gv-3d'. The last one, gv-3d, didn't work but gv did. Is this a problem with my database or is this a problem with the server (ftp.debian.org)? 2) After I have selected the packages that I want and I have downloaded them, dselect looks for old/corrupt files. In that list, I find two packages (actually, one package from different releases) that I had tried to install but later purged them. Later, when the packages are actually being installed, I see them again with the message "Skipping previously deselected package: gnuchess-book". After the installation, it deletes installed package files, but it skips the two gnuchess-book packages. The two files are in /frozen/<stuff I don't remember> and /Debian-1.2-fixed/<stuff I don't remember>. Can I just delete them manually without running either dselect or dpkg, or do I have to figure out how to get rid of them with either program? Thanks for listening. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
