Thanks for the help. This is what worked: 1) Used vi to edit the sources.list file mentioned to maintain parity with fink.config 2) Used fink to "fink install apt" because somehow apt disappeared totally from my sw/bin After doing both of these in this order, dselect works like it used to. Thanks Martin, Brandon
